Quack Quack

[user108095]

We walked past just in time to hear Paul Magriel utter his favorite phrase while betting 2,200 on a board of {2-Diamonds}

.

When his opponent folded, he asked what Magriel had hit. Obviously, he doesn't know who he's playing. Magriel is now sitting with 13,000.

In one of the biggest hands we've seen all day, a player in middle position moved all in for 2,475 and got called before Ricardo Queiroz reraised all in for 2,500 more.

The original caller made the second call, and the hands were shown.

Player 1: {A-Spades}

Player 2:

Queiroz:

When the board came {2-Hearts}

, Queiroz had enough heart to make his flush and take the pot, giving him a chip stack of nearly 13,000.

Bottom Pair No Good

[user108095]

When the player under the gun limped for 200, action folded to the cutoff who min-raised. Both the big blind and under the gun called.

On a flop of {8-Spades}

, action checked to the cutoff who moved in for 700. The big blind called and the player under the gun check-raised to 5,200. The big blind folded, and the cutoff said "I hope that's two spades" as he tabled {Q-Hearts}

.

It wasn't. When the player under the gun showed {K-Diamonds}

, top pair held as the board finished {4-Hearts}

.

The Saga of Marty Kaufman

[user108095]

Marty Kaufman has had a down and up day. Earlier in the tournament, Kaufman had left his table thinking he'd gone bust when another player chased him down, letting him know he still had 200 chips left.

Kaufman returned, and promptly doubled up, and then doubled again, giving him 1,000 before the hand we caught on the flop. Kaufman's opponent bet 1,050 on a board of {J-Clubs}
