As we were returning from our last round of chip counts, we noticed Mikael Thuritz had the all-in "triangle of death out in front of him and Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov was contemplating what to do. There was about 300,000 in the pot on a board reading , and Katchalov had 276,000 behind.
A couple of minutes ticked by, but eventually Katchalov dropped in some chips to signify a call. Thuritz's face dropped and Katchalov must have known he was good as he tabled the for a pair of jacks. Indeed it was good as Thuritz mucked his hand and sent the majority of his chips over to the Team PokerStars Pro.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy has been on fire here on Day 1, and his heater stayed true in a recent hand against Wai Kin Yong.
It happened when action folded to Troyanovskiy on the button and he raised to 16,000. Yong then pushed all in for roughly 120,000 from the small blind, the big folded, and Troyanovskiy spiked in a call.
