Steindl Busto
Johannes Steindl limped in mid position, and then shoved to a raise from the player in the big blind.
Steindl: 
Big Blind Gentleman: 
Board: 
The flop was promising for a chop, but no low came in and the big blind's aces held up. Steindl meanwhile hit the rail.
He Came, He Chainsaw, He Conquered
Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler is up to a very healthy 55,000, around double what he started the day with, after three-quartering another player. We didn't catch the action, but the cards looked like so by the end of the hand:
Kessler: 
Other Player: 
Board: 
giving Kessler a straight as well as the nut low

Watkinson Out
Lee Watkinson shoved on the turn of a 
board to a 4,000 bet from his opponent. Said opponent made the call.
Watkinson: 
Opponent gentleman: 
Absolutely nothing came in for Watkinson on the rover and his opponent scooped the pot. Watkinson meanwhile received nothing but an early night.
Kessler Has the Last Word
We don't know what Allen Kessler did to deserve a snippy comment from Annie Duke, but he definitely got one in a recent heads-up pot they played. Kessler had raised to 2,200 pre-flop. Duke called in position and after the blinds folded the flop came 
. Kessler put six orange (T1,000) chips into the pot.
"Allen, really?" Duke asked. "Can you count?"
Duke quickly realized her error. "Oh, sorry. I thought you put out eight. It's 5,600."
Duke called the bet and went to the turn, where the board paired with the . Kessler checked to Duke. She fired out 12,000, then silently folded when Kessler check-raised her all in for about 44,000.

Boatman Drowns on the River
Ross Boatman didn't get his chips into the pot in the worst spot. He bet the turn of board, then called all in after his opponent raised. Boatman showed 
for the second nut-low and two pair, sevens and fives. His opponent opened for the nut low and a partial wrap draw. The 
that hit the river filled one of those straight draws, giving Boatman's opponent a scoop. Boatman dutifully reported to the rail.
