Event #1 - Will Failla Doubles Through Ahmet Bolat in Strange Fashion
Level: 24
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 3,000
Remaining Players: 22
Avg. Stack: 870,000
There is some confusion on Table 3 and a crowd is gathering around the table. Apparently both Will Failla and his opponent Ahmet Bolat misread the board, resulting in a double for Failla when all was said and done.
Apparently, when the flop came K♦8♦4♥, Bolat bet 250,000 in the small blind, and Will Failla shoved all in for around 380,000. Bolat called and the players tabled their hands.
Failla: K♠3♠
Bolat: A♥8♥
The turn came the 10♠.
When the river came the 6♥ Failla stood up from his chair preparing to leave but another player not involved in the hand told both players to recheck the board and both were surprised. Bolat didn't know that he had a pair, and thought he had flopped only a flush draw. Failla said he thought the flop had two hearts as well and didn't realize his kings were good.
"Can someone please check the cameras?" Bolat asked half jokingly, "I really thought I hit the flush on the river."
Will Failla - 650,000 (32 bb)

Laurie Hilton Calls Her Shot, Eliminates She Wok Long
Level: 21
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 1,000
Players Remaining: 39
According to Laurie Hilton, her and She Lok Wong had some history after a few hands played against eachother on last night's bubble. Hilton said that last night she told Wong, "If I am seated next to you tomorrow, I am going to take all of your chips."
Just a few minutes ago Wong was moved to Hilton's direct left. After he sat down Hilton said to him, "By the end of this level, I'm going to have all of your chips."
The very next hand, Wong open shoved around 300,000 holding 6♦6♠, and Hilton snap-called holding A♦Q♠. The flop was safe for Wong, but Hilton turned an ace, and Wong failed to improve on the river, and he was sent home in 41st place, paying $2,061.
"How fortuitous is that?" Hilton says as she stacks her chips.
