We got to the table with Scott Clements calling a reraise of his opener. The flop came and Clements checked to his opponent who bet 40,000. The multiple WSOP bracelet winner studied his opponent and grabbed a stack of T5,000 chips and broke them down as if he were about to make a bet.

We missed the pre-flop action but it appeared that Scott Clements opened for a raise and was called by Travis Rice from the big blind. The flop came and Rice check-called a 21,000 bet from Clements.
The turn was the and this time Rice led out for 36,000. Clements took a peek at his cards as if to see if he had a spade and asked the dealer how much the bet was. The dealer confirmed the amount and Clements made the call.
The river was the and both players checked. "Two pair," said Rice. Clements didn't turn his hand over as he waited for Rice to reveal his hand. Rice finally turned over and Clements revealed his for a better two pair to take the pot and move his stack to 315,000.
We got to the table with approximately 25,000 in the pot and a board of . Matthew Lapossie checked to his opponent, Lynn Samples, who bet 11,000. Lapossie check-raised to 28,000 and Samples wasted no time in making the call.

The river was the and as Samples glared at him, Lapossie upped the stakes and made it 110,000 to go. Samples continued to study her foe while riffling chips carefully in her right hand. Eventually she decided caution was the better part of valor and let her hand go. Lapossie turned over the bluff — — for a flopped flush and straight draw that never got there. As he stacked his chips, Samples continued to eye him, obviously not pleased with what had taken place. Despite the small setback she still has a well above average stack with 470,000 while Lapossie moved to 575,000.
