We found Eric Baldwin in a pot at the turn with the board showing . Baldwin bet 550, one opponent called and two others folded.
The river came , Baldwin checked and his opponent bet 1,200. Baldwin took a breath and then slung out 25,000 in T5,000 chips - enough to set his opponent all in. After just a few moments his opponent folded and Baldwin drug the pot.

We arrived at the table just in time to see Rex Clinkscales move all in on the river. The board was and Rex led out with a nominal bet from the nine seat.
His opponent was in the one seat and apparantly didn't realize that Clinkscales had bet and his bet was enough for a legal raise.
Clinkscales then shoved and his opponent verbally announced that Clinkscales won the pot and "I would just like to see his hand." Since the opponent verbally folded Clinkscales waited until the dealer mucked his opponent's hand and then showed him for a bluff.
"Dang it," his opponent said. "I knew I made a mistake."

Things are done a little differently at the end of play here at the Horseshoe Southern Indiana. Instead of bagging and tagging chips for tomorrow players will count down their stack and then have it verified by dealer at each table.
The reason behind this is that tournament officials are unsure that they have enough physical chips to field the two flights. Players will return tomorrow with a sheet of paper that has their count on it.
Then tomorrow the tournament staff will set up each table with each players' stack counted out.
