Well, That Explains That

We wondered what Steve Dannenmann would do when it was time to leave his current seat and head to the restart of the $2,000 No-Limit event. What he did was move all-in with the massive {8-Clubs}{3-Spades} and get knocked out by a player holding A-8. "I have to get to the other tournament!" he said to explain his slightly unorthodox play.

Barry Greenstein Loses Some Back

After doubling up when his Jacks outflopped another player's Queens, Barry Greenstein lost a lot of those chips back a few hands later. Holding {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, Greenstein flopped top pair and the flush draw on a {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. He opponent moved in and Greenstein called, to find that his opponent had flopped a slightly bigger ace with A-Q. Barry didn't catch a Jack nor a club and his stack is now down to 2,000.

Phil Hellmuth Needs an 8

Phil moves all in from the cutoff for his last 1,850, and gets called by the big blind with A K. Phil shows one of his cards - the {8-Hearts} and says "I need one of these". The board comes out 9 4 K K 8. The opponent has shown Ace King, and Phil exclaims "Yes! Eights Full", but mucks his other card {A-Hearts}, and is out the door. Phil Hellmuth is out.
