Unusual Situation
On the river, in middle position, a player checks and the button bets 80,000. The MP player calls all in and turns over one ace -- mucking the other card! His opponent demands that his hand be ruled dead since he mucked one of the cards. The mucker quickly retrieves his card, but there's a big argument and the floor is called.

Maria, Maria
On the turn, Maria Ho and another player are all in. Ho has 5-5, but the other player has Q-Q and doubles up. Ho is down to 260,000.
J.C. Tran Doubles Up With Aces
Tran checked and his opponent bet 25,000. Tran raised to 60,000 total and his opponent instantly declared: "All in." Tran called his remaining 88,000 and the players turned up their cards...
Tran: A-A
Opponent: K-K
The turn and river helped neither player and J.C. Tran took down the pot and is now working with 212,000 in chips.
