All-in calls fill the air in WSOP Main Event

The shouts of "all-in call" rang loud and clear above the din of chips clacking, cameras clicking, table banter and players trying to talk their way through critical hands Tuesday on Day 2A of the World Series of Poker Main Event.

Every time a dealer yelled the powerful phrase, players at nearby tables paused to check out the hand, a Harrah's official – if one was nearby – moved in to supervise the table, fans craned their necks to see the action and reporters, TV cameras and photographers raced over to the table to see who might be busting out.

At times, the action was non-stop. "All-in call at table 54," shouted one dealer. "All-in call at table 53," yelled another seconds later. "All-in call at 58" bellowed another as it let the casino floor know that a possible bust-out hand was in progress. The clarion calls came from all sides and all corners of the Amazon Room at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino as players fervently battled to survive and advance into Day 3.

Here's a look at a 45-minute stretch of bust-outs during Day 2A's evening session. (Note: This particular period had more bust-outs than listed here. These are simply the ones Casino City observed)
