John-Robert Bellande raised from UTG before Mike Sexton moved all in for his last 1,700. A player on the button raised again before the BB and Bellande called. The flop arrived before Bellande bet and only received a call from the button, as he did when he bet the turn and the river also.
"I have a set," announced Bellande and he revealed .
Sexton then turned over for the flush and the main pot. The other player folded and Bellande took the side pot.
"Oh really?" said Bellande upon seeing Sexton's hand. "I would've much rather seen you walking away right now."

Daniel Negreanu is rather chipper today, much more than yesterday, at least. Negreanu missed the first few levels of this event as he was tending to more important business over in the featured table arena. Negreanu ran deep into the Six-Handed Limit Hold'em event, just narrowly missing out on his fifth gold bracelet in a swingy heads-up battle with eventual champion Brock Parker. When Negreanu joined our field later that evening, he spent most of his time loping from table to table, recounting stories of his bad run to close out that final table.
Kid Poker has come back to work in a better mood today though. He's still bouncing from table to table, but he's doing so with lots of laughter, almost giddy. Between the last two hands, Negreanu and Scott Clements were over at Phil Hellmuth's table, and the three men shared a brief conversation. We couldn't eavesdrop closely enough, but it ended with all three men bent over in riotous laughter.
Each of them has reason for jollity today, as they are all climbing up toward the top of the leader board.

With a big smile, Doyle wished his table luck and zoomed out of the room on his scooter.

You don't want penalty number two Mike
Mike Matusow was up from his table walking around trying to burn off some of the endless nervous energy he has when he made a comment right by Sammy Farha's table "Oh Sammy's at this table. What do I have to do to get moved here? Can I pay to move?"
