One with Wakeman and Feldman
We recently watched Matt Wakeman and Joel Feldman lose a small pot each on their respective tables. This is how the action that we saw went down.
- When we arrived at Feldman's table, there was a
board already out on the felt and Feldman was leading for 5,500 from the small blind position, with more than 14,000 already in the pot. His opponent, in late position, thought for a long time before opting to make the call. Feldman's 
was tabled and then slid into the muck when his opponent turned over 
. - Over on Wakeman's table, he was busy check-calling a bet of 975 on the turn of a
board against one opponent. The completed the board on the river and Wakeman again checked. This time his opponent looked at Wakeman's stack size before betting 2,275. Wakeman thought for quite some time here, before deciding to let his cards go.
With that, Feldman is down to just over 10,000 and despite losing this small pot, Wakeman has had a solid afternoon, now sitting with a stack of more than 30,000.

A Song About Rawkz
“I’m going to write a song about you Rawkz...it’s called ‘What a Life!’” said Michael Fadersen after losing a sizable pot to Liam O’Rourke in a preflop clash.
O’Rourke was all in for his last 9,000 or so with 
but Fadersen had a monster 
. The first four community cards were a safe 
, but the "ooooohs" were heard from the rail when the 
arrived on the river to give O’Rourke the two-outer river to stay alive.

Coolers Bro
We’ve witnessed another massive preflop clash between two big pairs where the small pair has caught a miraculous set to escape elimination.
This time it was Alex Lynskey and Ami Barer who went to war with Barer running his into Lynskey’s 
. No problem for Barer as he spiked his king on the board of 
to stay alive and double up to 30,000.
A disgusted Lynskey splashed his last chips on the felt, and looked down at just 6,500 in chips.

Lynskey out of Luck
After losing that previous hand, Alex Lynskey looked down at and committed his last 6,500 chips with to be racing for his tournament against the of James Honeybone.
Again it was a cruel one for Lynskey as the first four cards were 
to keep him in the lead, but the on the river was not the lady Lynskey wanted to meet. Honeybone paired up to take the pot and eliminate a very unlucky Lynskey from the tournament.

Croc Snapping Up Some Chips
Michael Fadersen opened the action with a min-raise from under the gun and Billy Argyros flat-called on his left. The action was then on Matt Wakeman directly on Argyros's left and he three-bet to 2,375. Fadersen and the rest of the table got out of the way before it was back on Argyros. After just a few moments, Argyros four-bet to 7,050.
"How much you got, Billy?" Wakeman asked Argyros. "Twenty more?"
At this point Wakeman let out a loud sigh before saying to the silent Argyros, "You're normally so chatty, what's up?"
"God, i'm such a nit!" Wakeman said as he flicked his cards into the muck. The table began discussing the hand, with Wakeman saying, "I just don't think you are flatting and back-raising with ace-king."
