Van-dalised
Level 5
(Yes, I'm using the English spelling)
Van Marcus dropped a chunk of chips just now, he bet 1,500 on the river - around a quarter of the pot - on the river of a 
board and got check-called. Marcus showed 
but he was pipped out on his value bet by his opponent's 
.

Somerville Gets Sunk
PLO
We're not 100% sure when the money went in, but Jason Somerville ended up all in for his last 4,500 chips against Scott Montgomery. After the cards were all dealt the board read 
and Somerville's 
for two pair couldn't beat Montgomery's 
for a king-high flush.
Somerville was sent to the rail while Montgomery's stack grew to 21,000.

Negreanu Is Here! ... Errrr, He Was Here
Level 5
On break from Event #37, the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, Daniel Negreanu decided to try and build a stack in this tournament. He sat down and immediately told the table he was going to play reckless and that nobody should fold when he is in a hand.
True to his word, Negreanu decided to raise in his very first hand to 750 while playing PLH. Everyone folded and Negreanu flipped over 
. He seemed in disbelief everyone folded.
A few hands later it was time for PLO and Negreanu three-bet from the big blind. The original raiser decide to pot it up and they eventually got all the money in. Negreanu's 
was unable to catch up to the 
of his opponent and out he went after just a couple of hands.
