Sung Squeezes the Wrong Cards

Stud-8:

Nick Schulman was all in on fourth street. The action included three other players, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Gus Hansen, and Steve Sung.

Schulman: x-x-{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Dwan: x-x-{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Hansen: x-x-{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Sung: x-x-{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

On sixth street, the action got capped around the table by the three remaining players in the hand. After the players receievd their last cards, Dwan checked and Hansen bet out. Sung only had two bets left and tossed them in the middle. Dwan folded and Hansen called.

Sung said, "Do you have a full house?"

Hansen, "No, I only have the obvious two pair."

Sung replied, "Well, I have a flush."

Sung then turned over his hand that was {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, but realized then that he only had four clubs! Sung yelled out, "Oh my god, I squeezed the wrong cards!"

Hansen displayed {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair to win the high.

Schulman chopped the pot in half as he captured the low with {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, for an eight-low.

Sung was eliminated due to his mistake.

Dwan vs. Danzer vs. Hansen

Stud-8:

Tom "durrrr" Dwan: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
George Danzer: {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Gus Hansen: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Dwan bet every street and Danzer thought about his call each time before making the call. Hansen also came along with a call on each street. After getting their seventh cards, Dwan bet again and Danzer thought before mucking.

Hansen mentioned, "Well, that's an interesting card," before tossing his chips in nonchalantly.

Dwan made two pair on his last card and played {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}-x-x-x, but was beaten by Hansen's higher two pair, as he pulled another jack on the river for {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}-x-x-x.
