She Wong opened to 65,000 from under the gun and Simon Levy three-bet jammed for 280,000 from the big blind. The bigger-stacked Wong was unsure what to do and eventually resorted to randomness as he shuffled a mix of red and blue chips.
"If I pull red, I call. If I pull blue, I'm folding," Wong said. He looked away and his hand hovered over a blue chip before fate had him eventually land on red for a call.
Simon Levy: 
She Wong: 
"You got red-pilled," laughed Scott Bohlman.
Levy was able to survive the flip as the board ran out 
and he earned the double thanks to Wong's random decision.
"I'm glad you called now," Levy said. "I was upset at first!"

Soukha Kachittavong opened to 60,000 from under the gun and four players called before Jake Ripnick three-bet jammed a stack of 855,000 from the small blind. Only Joshua Smith called with a bigger stack, explaining "it feels like you're squeezing."
Jake Ripnick: 
Joshua Smith: 
Ripnick had a big hand but was still flipping and needed to dodge an ace or king. He did so as the board ran out 
and he recieved a big double.
"It looked like a squeeze," Smith said. "I can't fold ace-king."
"It'd be hard to explain what you were doing in a tournament if you folded ace-king," commented Dominick Sannino.
