We picked up this hand after the draw. Steve Zolotow checked from the BB, then Tom Dwan bet 2,600 from UTG. Huck Seed was contemplating what to do when Zolotow -- thinking Seed had folded -- accidentally open folded his hand -- .
Seed didn't fold -- in fact, he shoved all in for 24,000. Dwan tanked for a while, then made the call, showing . Seed showed a and was out.
Zolotow apologized afterwards to Seed. "It's all right," answered Seed. "You made an honest mistake. Then I made an honest mistake. Then he [Dwan] made a good call."
Mark Dickstein raised to 3,000 from the cutoff, the button folded, and Mike Matusow reraised all in for 19,400 from the small blind. Eric Kesselman then called from the big blind, and Dickstein pushed all in as well for a few more. Kesselman called for the extra chips.
Matusow drew two cards, Kesselman drew one, and Dickstein one. Matusow showed -- not a good draw for him. Kesselman showed -- better. And Dickstein tabled .
Kesselman's hand was best, meaning both Dickstein and Matusow have been eliminated. Dickstein now has 84,000.
Prop bet time. This one took some negotiating, but Tom "durrrr" Dwan has successfully gotten both John Juanda and Chris Ferguson to agree to an unusual "double-must-win" bet.
For Dwan to win the bet, he must win this Event No. 19, and Huck Seed (recently eliminated here) must win the tournament that begins at 5 p.m. this afternoon, Event No. 21, the $1,500 buy-in Seven-Card Stud event.
The agreed upon odds were 800-to-1. Juanda is in for $2,000, while Ferguson is for $1,000. That would be $2.4 million for Dwan, should both he and Seed win their respective events.
Peter Gould opened to 3,400 only to have Michael Mizrachi three-bet from the button to 8,500.
With the action on Nicholas Brancato in the big blind, he moved all in for his last 35,200.
Gould took his time before making the call as Mizrachi folded.
Drawing one, Brancato tabled his as Gould stood pat with his .
Needing a five or a three to stay alive, Brancato could only manage to squeeze out a as he made his way to the rail with Gould climbing to 108,000 in chips.
