"Rebuy at 7:00, Right?"
![[user196975]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We found this hand developing at the turn. The board showed 
and Vinnie Napolitano bet 3,500 from the cutoff. Kenny Nguyen was on the button and raised enough to put Napolitano all in.
"You can rebuy at 7 p.m, right?" Napolitano asked the dealer.
"Of course you can rebuy," Nguyen answered.
Armed with that information Napolitano announced a call and turned over 
.
Nguyen looked incredulous, "How can you call with that?" he asked. Then he turned over 
and couldn't believe he had the best hand.
The river came 
, which shipped the pot to Napolitano and Nguyen was beside himself. He called his friend over and replayed the hand for him. While Nguyen was explaining Napolitano's questionable call Napolitano said, "I knew you didn't have shit, but I knew my shit would hit."

Musumeci Beat by a "Straight"
Level 4
: 100/200, 0 ante
Amanda Musumeci was nearly the last woman standing in the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event, finishing 62nd, and the Philadelphia native is in the field today. She's off to a rough start however.
In a recent hand, the board read 
. An elderly gentleman led out for 5,000, another player folded, and Musumeci made the call.
"Straight," the player said with confidence, turning over 
.
That's actually a flush for everybody scoring at home.
Musumeci gave a bit of a laugh before mucking her hand. She's now below the 10,000-chip mark.
