Stacks Go In on All Three Tables Before Dinner

Hand #1: Robert Palacios opened to 60,000 in middle position and Richard Moore re-jammed for 297,000. Palacios called.
Moore: 
Palacios: 
Palacios won the coin flip on a runout of 
and eliminated Moore. Moments later, Patrick Watkins was seen vacating his seat from an adjacent table.
Hand #2: Travis Bettcher open-jammed for 117,000 in the cutoff and was called in the big blind by Norman Kauffman.
Bettcher: 
Kauffman: 
An ace in the window of 
was nothing but a tease to Kauffman, who ceded the double to Bettcher as the turn 
and river 
completed the runout in his favor.
Hand #3: A second all-in situation occurred on the table where Watkins was just eliminated, with Jason Crews getting all in with 
against the 
of Eric Kyle and failing to get there.
