There were four limpers in the pot. The flop was {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Tony Bloom fired out 18,000 from the small blind. Only Erick Lidngren called. The turn was the {8-Spades} and both players checked.The river was the {10-Spades}. Bloom bet 40,000. Erick Lindgren went into the tank. He almost used up all of his time bank. The dealer had counted off, "5-4-3-2...." And just when the dealer said "1" Lindgren had moved all in for his last 115,000. Bloom also went into the tank. The dealer counted off, "5-4-3-2..." And at the last possible second, Bloom called.

Lindgren tabled {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a full house. Bloom mucked. Lindgren doubled up and increased his stack to over 300,000.

Tom "Durrrr" Dwan raised to 16,000 from UTG, John Juanda re-raised the pot to 51,000, having only another 10,000 behind (remember-- it's pot-limit before the flop). Dwan put Juanda all in and he called.

Juanda {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Dwan {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The flop was {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, making Juanda two pair, but giving Dwan an open-ended straight draw. Dwan picked up more outs with the {K-Spades} fell on the turn, and the {7-Spades} made him a jack-high straight to win the pot and eliminate Juanda.
