Bucherl had several stacks of 100-denomination chips and he patiently waited as the dealer counted them out, only to learn that his opponent had him covered, and his tournament life was over. Clearly disappointed, he made his way through the crowd toward the rail.

Hanks Hosed
When we found Brent Hanks he was mixing it up with another player on a flop of 
. Hanks checked the flop and his opponent put out a bet of 6,600. After some contemplation Hanks raised and put out a stack of yellow chips making it 20,000 total. Hank's opponent immediately went all in and Hanks called just as fast.
Hanks:
Opponent: 
Hank's opponent held top set of queens, but Hanks wasn't completely out of it as he still was drawing to a nut flush. The 
turn gave Hanks a pair, but it was not the kind of card he needed. A river 
was another miss and Hanks was forced to give a lot of chips away.

Kabrhel Three-Bets
Level 11
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
The action opened with a raise from middle position to 2,400. From the cutoff, Martin Kabrhel made it 6,800 to go. The player on the button mucked and the player in the small blind went into the tank. Eventually after about two minutes of thinking, he released his cards into the muck.
The player in the big blind then peaked at his cards and let out a concerned sigh. He took a sip from his Starbucks before shaking his head and moving his cards toward the muck as well. Action came back around to the original raiser who threw his cards away as well.
After a lot of preflop drama, Kabrhel was able to take the pot down with a three-bet, bringing him up to 120,000 in chips.

The turn was the 
and Laskey checked. Romine said, "Let's go another 10," and bet 10,000. Laskey called and Romine commented, "Nice... nice."
The river completed the board with the and both players checked. Romine tabled the 
, but Laskey's 
was a little bit better and he won the pot. Romine was all smiles though and commented, "Nice hand," to Laskey before giving him a fist bump.
