Bryce McVay (Jupiter, FL) got a little "creative" with his four-bet shove, but it ended up working out for him.

After Bryce McVay opened the action at Table 1 with a raise to 42,000, Jake Ozyman three-bet to 80,000 after players folded to him.  The players behind Ozyman also released their hand, and it would be McCoy's move next.  After sitting still for neither a minute, Bryce announced he was all-in, having Ozyman covered.  Jake quickly made the call, and the two would be playing for a pot worth close to 800,000.

McVay turned over A♦ 4♣, seemingly knowing that his hand was going to be in bad shape, which it was (against the Q♦ Q♥ of Ozyman).  The 4♦ 3♠ 5♠ flop was certainly a favorable one for McVay, but he was still behind.  That would only last for a few seconds, with the dealer placing the 4♠ on the turn, leaving Jake looking for a two-outer on the river.  It wasn't meant to be for Ozyman, who exits the field, while McVay chips up to 1,900,000 (which is good for the chip lead).
