Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 8♠K♣J♠, the big blind moved all in for 10,000 and Jameson Volk reshoved under the gun. Josh Unruh instantly slammed in a call from the button.

Big Blind: K♠5♠ All in
Josh Unruh: 8♣8♦ All in
Jameson Volk: K♥J♦

"Double knockout, bitches!" Unruh yelled out, raising his arms in the air. The big blind was eliminated, but Unruh was denied the second bustout when a recount showed Volk had his remaining 66,000 covered by just 2,000.
