We arrived at table 32 with 3 players going to a flop for 6,000 each. The player in the bb – Patrick Lacy – checked dark, and the cards were dealt: 
.
Eric Richer was first to act (following the dark check by Lacy) and he chose to shove all in for 31,100. Often that would be the end of things – but not today. Bruno Fabrizio – among the chip leaders for several levels already – made a reasonably quick call and action returned to Lacy, who surprised everyone by going all in way over the top for 123,300! Fabrizio thought for a few seconds, but not that long considering that a call would mean committing about 80% of his stack… and he made the call. The hands were exposed.
Richer: 
Fabrizio: 
Lacy: 
Richer was drawing almost dead for his last 31K, but the turn brought insurmountable problems for both he and Fabrizio – the 
gave Lacy a full house and suddenly the other two players’ flush draws were worthless. Lacy stacked a huge pot and is now almost certainly among the chip leaders in the flight as Day 1A begins to wind down.
