Snead's Opponent Scoops on River

After betting the whole way on a board of {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Paul Snead was then raised on the river by his opponent. Snead made the call with {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a straight and decent low, but his opponent showed {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a rivered full house to go with a better low to scoop the entire pot.

After the hand Snead slips to just under 8,000 chips.

Men the Master Upset

Men "The Master" Nguyen seems a little upset over the choice of dealers for this year's World Series of Poker. He has been very vocal at his displeasure in dealer competency. Nguyen has been seen taking the chip stack from the dealer and split the pots himself quite frequently.

Robert Mizrachi

Robert Mizrachi bet all three streets on a board of {10-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}. When he was called on the river he said "flush" revealing {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} to play the {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} instead of his aces. It was enough to take down the pot as he adds to his growing chip stack of 12,500 chips.
