Oppenheim Enjoying Massage

We don't have a clock on it, but we can't help but notice that David Oppenheim has been enjoying a rather lengthy massage. He's located right next to where we're based here in the Amazon Room, and our guess on the length of massage would so far be close to two hours...and counting!

The Lakers "Have to Win"

Erick Lindgren was visiting with Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu and they decided to have a little chat with Jerry Buss. They informed Buss that, "The Lakers have to win tomorrow." Apparently they all have a lot of money riding on the game.

The Master at Work

Men "The Master" Nguyen
Men "The Master" Nguyen
We caught the action on fifth street with Men "The Master" Nguyen betting out with {Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and his opponent made the call showing {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

On sixth street Nguyen caught the {8-Clubs} but was check-raised as his opponent received the {K-Clubs}. Nguyen made the call.

On the river Nguyen's opponent bet again, but this time "The Master" announced a raise, which his opponent called.

Nguyen showed ({8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Spades}) {Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a full house which was too good for his opponent's ({A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}) {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for aces and kings.

"The Master" collects a nice pot to move to around 53,000 in chips and the tournament chip lead!

Duthie Rolls Up on "The Master"

With a board of {J-Hearts} {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {J-Clubs}, Men "The Master" Nguyen bet into Paul Duthie's board of {2-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. Duthie raised and Nguyen called. On the river, Nguyen checked and Duthie bet. Nguyen called and Duthie showed {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {2-Spades} for a set of deuces. Apparently, Duthie started with rolled-up deuces.

After the hand Duthie is up to 29,000 and Nguyen is down to 49,000.

Don't Mess With the Godfather

Doyle Brunson was in a hand with an unknown opponent. Brunson had bet every street through sixth street and his opponent flat-called.

Brunson checked a board of {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {2-Clubs} and his opponent bet out with a board of {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} . After thinking a moment, Brunson said, "Something's not right with this hand." Brunson then proceeded to call. His opponent turned over (10-7-10) for tens up and Brunson turned over (9-J-10) for jacks up.
