Oops.
There's a lot of pressure now that we're down to 18 players left. Each of the remaining players is very close to a huge payday. Sometimes it seems the pressure gets the better of them.
James Casement opened to 45,000 from middle position. Action passed to Vanessa Selbst, whose re-raise to 150,000 cleared every one else out of the hand. Casement then said, "I call," and turned up . The problem was that he had about 450,000 total and Selbst had only raised to 150,000!
"It's just 150," the dealer told Casement.
Casement flushed slightly and closed his hand. "I'm all in then."
"You can't go all in," the dealer reminded him. "You said you call."
Casement put in the chips for a call. To the amusement of the rail, the flop came king-high, , and Casement checked!
"Are you really checking?" Selbst asked, stupefied. "Alright I check."
The turn came a brick, . Casement moved all in and Selbst snap-folded.
"You think I'm going to hit my eight and catch up?" she asked Casement. "Oh, I hit a set. I can't fold it!" The table erupted in laughter.
"Write that one up, boys," Mike Beasley instructed the assembled media. "That's a good one."

As right as everything went for Scott Seiver yesterday is how poorly things are going for Seiver today. He still has a very healthy stack but he just can't seem to gain any traction.

Cliff Josephy, to Seiver's left, was standing up from his chair and typing on his phone. Seiver thought Josephy may have caught a glimpse of Seiver's cards.
"You see my old ace-three suited in the hole?" Seiver asked.
Josephy shook his head no, then added, "He couldn't have beat you by any less."

Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy has been raising many pots at his table, but since he's sitting at the toughest one in the room, he hasn't been getting too many raises through. In one hand, he opened under-the-gun to 50,000. Derek Raymond bumped it 165,000, and Bax tanked for a minute before folding. Two hands later, Jordan Morgan opened under-the-gun and Brandon Hall three-bet from the button. Bax looked like he was going to make a move from the small blind, but after another trip to the tank, he mucked with a grimace. That whole table is counting the seconds until one more elimination triggers a much-needed redraw.
