Mike Wattel raised to 17,000 in early position and was called by the small blind before Nicholas Heather jammed in the big for 222,000 total. Wattel tanked for a couple of minutes, shuffling chips, before he slid in calling chips. The small blind insta-mucked.

Wattel shook his head.
"I wouldn't have called if I knew you had a pair," he said.
Luck was on his side though, as the flop came to give him the lead with kings. Neither the nor the saved Heather.
Billionaire hedge fund manager David Einhorn just secured another double up to give himself a chance to raise even more money for charity.
Einhorn, who played the Big One for One Drop both years finishing third in the first one, and finished 16th in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, was just found in a raising war on a flop. Einhorn check-raised Jason White's 50,000 chip bet up to 140,000.
White, a NASCAR driver, moved all in and Einhorn called the bet for his tournament life.

Einhorn:
The board ran out , and Einhorn kept his hopes for a deep run alive. White was left with very little chips and we saw him exit the room a few hands later.
Here's an interview Sarah Grant did with David Einhorn on one of the breaks earlier today.
Dun Nguyen was all in for 165,000 with against the held by Robert Park.
The flop fell , giving Park a set of kings but giving Nguyen an ace-high straight. The turn kept Nguyen ahead, but the river paired the board to fill up Park to score the elimination.
Maxence Dupont opened for 16,000 only to have Chris Demaci three-bet to 45,000. Action folded back to Dupont, and it appeared that he moved all in and Demaci called off for approximately 240,000.
Demaci:
Dupont:
It was a bad spot for Demaci, but some diamonds or an ace would help his cause. The flop was not only dry for Demaci, it took away an out as the would now give Dupont a flush. The turn meant Demaci only had two aces that would help him, neither of which came when the blanked on the river.
