Arne Mews Loses Cards and Pot!

In a bizarre hand, amid some controversy, a pot was awarded to Eddie Kinzler when the cards of Arne Mews were accidentally mucked with action pending.

We believe that Mews had opened the action by moving all in. Kinzler then moved all in from the small blind but the dealer accidentally mucked the unprotected cards of Mews thinking that the hand was over.

The floor was called, and it was ruled that Mews had done nothing wrong and that the dealer was at fault. But since Mews didn't have any cards in front of him, his hand was dead. As he opened the action, he was penalized only the cost of the big blind rather than his entire stack, as Kinzler collected the pot in amazing circumstances!

D'Angelo Takes Down Monster

Ryan D'Angelo raised it up to 56,000 from early position with Sergey Rybachenko and Denys Drobyna calling out of the blinds.

They saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} and the action passed to D'Angelo who made a continuation bet of 56,000. Rybachenko made the call and Drobyna stepped aside.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and Rybachenko checked to D'Angelo who fired a second bullet worth 125,000. Rybachenko called once again.

The river landed the {A-Diamonds} and it was again checked to D'Angelo who bet out for the third time in the hand, this time for 240,000. Rybachenko called but mucked his cards when D'Angelo tabled {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for a full house, kings full of eights.

With this monster pot D'Angelo jumps to about 850,000 while Rybachenko falls to about 480,000.

Action Slows

The action has slowed down over the last few minutes, with the fans a little quiet on the rail as they anxiously await to see who will break next.

You would imagine that players get tired and reckless the later it gets in the evening, but often we find that play actually tightens late as players start to think about making it through the day and climbing the payout ladder.
