Oh Brother!
With around 14,500 in the pot and the flop reading

"No straights, no flushes, no nothing!"
"This is like the thirtieth in a row this World Series!"
With Negreanu's table based on the rail and at least twenty people watching on, they all remained dead silent as he continued.
"Oh brother!"

Two Pair Trouble For Barbieri
On a board reading 
Alex Yen fired out a bet of 5,000 into a pot of roughly 8,000.
Al Barbieri went deep into the tank until the clock was called on him.
"How long has it been?" asked the Tournament Director.
"Long! Holy crap!" responded Barbieri.
Barbieri then proceeded to stand up out of his chair before almost sliding his stack into the pot only to pull them back quickly before it was deemed as a call.
As the Tournament Director counted down till just ten seconds remained, Barbieri made the call as the dealer produced the 
on the river.
"I'm all in" announced Yen.
With Yen acting out of turn and the Tournament Director still there, Barbieri asked for a ruling. Consequently - as per WSOP rules and regulations - the Tournament Director announced, "his [Yen's] action is not binding, it's heads up. The ruling is you're first to act."
Barbieri checked and Yen eventually moved all in with Barbieri making the call.
Unfortunately Barbieri was unable to best Yen's 
and mucked his hand while slipping to 28,000 as Yen climbed to 47,000 in chips.

was dominated by Ogura's
