The river was the and Ho's opponent led out for 1,500 and she made the call. He tabled for a ten high straight and Ho flashed an ace before handing her cards to the dealer.
With a flop of , Aaron Massey bet 900 after two players checked to him and they both called. All three would check the turn. On the river, the second player bet 750, Massey quickly called, and the third player let his hand go. Massey's opponent turned over for a busted draw and Massey took the pot down with to move his stack to 29,000.
Massey told us how he was on his fifth bullet and relayed how he had busted on his fourth bullet earlier this morning. "I had and opened and the small blind called. When I had sat down at the table, a player had told me this guy was a maniac. Flop comes and I bet 500, he raises to 1,100 and I called. The turn was the and I check-called an 8,000 bet. The river was the and this guy Hollywoods and slaps the table to check. I bet 6,000, he moves all in, I snap. He has ."

The floor was called to a table where on a four heart, double paired board, a player had announced that he was all in and threw out a 5,000 chip. His opponent, wearing headphones, threw out a 5,000 chip as well not realizing that the other player was all in. He tabled the ace high flush but it was no good as his opponent had a full house with his pocket eights.
The player with the flush tried to dispute the all in call but the floor ruled that since the player announced his intention and the dealer repeated it that the call was an all in call not just a call of the 5,000. That was enough to eliminate the player and perhaps give him a very hard earned lesson on not "pumping up the volume."
