Mazzitelli Gets the Chop - Or Not
against Jerzy Slaby's 
.Mazzitelli insisted that it was a split pot when the board came down
, but he was put to rights by the dealer and was sent on his way.
Joe Makes a Hachem Of it
board and Patacconi bet 45,000. After an incredibly long time, Hachem called, and covered his eyes. "What does he have?" he blindly inquired of the table. "The nuts," replied a gent who was actually looking, and Hachem opened his eyes to see Patacconi's 
, and mucked."So much for having chips for two minutes," he sighed.
"They'll come back to you, they love you," a tablemate told him.
Hachem is now down to 74,000.
Traply Traps Mizzi
. Mizzi led out for 55,500 and was flummoxed to see Traply move all in for more than 300,000 -- an amount that covered Mizzi by about 100,000.Mizzi took one of the deepest dives into the tank we've seen in a while. He tanked for at least five minutes. At one point, he seemed to ask Traply, "If I call, can we run it twice?", perhaps trying to decide if Traply was making a move with a hand like
. Traply didn't make the slightest response. Mizzi finally said, "I call. I call," taking us to showdown.Mizzi:
Traply:
The
on the turn ended the hand. Mizzi was drawing dead. He stood up, shook Traply's hand, and walked off.
Obrestad Takes a Flyer
in a three-way pot. A player with an name we're glad we can copy-and-paste, Gijsbertus Spijkers, led out for 25,000. Obrestad was the only caller. When the river fell 
, Spijkers made a motion as if to pick up some chips, then waved his hands over his whole stack and said, "All in." No sooner had the words passed his lips, then Obrestad's cards hit the muck.
Spindler Spun Out

"Opa!" cried de Korver,
Tough Blow for J.J.
Kowssarie:
Liu:
Liu could only look away from the table in the disgust as the dealer peeled off a flop of
, pairing Kowssarie's trey. The turn and river were running tens to give him a triple-up. Liu is down to 110,000.
Kelopuro Put to (Haira) Bed-Ian
Kelopuro and Roger Hairabedian saw a
flop and they went bet-crazy. It looks as though Hairabedian bet out, then Kelopuro raised, then Hairabedian reraised, and after some thought, Kelopuro called. This all took an incredibly long time, allowing me to witness Ben Spindler's bustout on the next table before Kelopuro had called the reraise.Turn:
Hairabedian now bet out just 30,000 into the already enormous pot, and now Kelopuro made it 96,000. Hairabedian, who had suddenly acquired a large number of railers from apparently thin air, looked him up and down and said in broken English, "I say you, don't make move. All in."
Insta-call from Kelopuro, and I have to say it was the first time I'd ever seen the usually sanguine Finn look as though he was going to throw up.
Kelopuro:
Hairabedian:
River:
Kelopuro dropped down to just 62,000, while wild applause and cries of "Roger! Roger!" echoed from the railers and the Moroccan enjoyed a full, in its raked-in state uncountable, double up.
