Baker Bites The Dust
We reached the table to see that Brandon Caputo raised to 4,800 before the flop from the cutoff only to have a short stacked David "ODB" Baker move all in from the big blind. Caputo called and the hands were revealed to show that Baker was in the lead.

Unfortunately for Baker, the flop of 
paired Caputo's deuce and Baker was unable to improve on the turn and the river, officially ending his run at the River Poker Series. Caputo, however, is one of the biggest stacks in the room with 218,000 in chips.

Great Card for Massey to Barrel
Action folded to Aaron Massey on the button and he opened to 5,100. The player in the big blind defended and the flop came down 
.
The player in the big blind check-called 5,100 from Massey on the flop, landing the 
on the turn. Another check from the player in the big blind led to another Massey bet, this one for 20,000. His opponent gave it some thought, but ultimately mucked.
Massey flashed 
and as the table praised his bluff, he told them, "The ace was a great card to barrel. Didn't really mean to show, but I want to get paid off later."
