Reynolds Crippled By Cooler; Then Busts
We noticed William Reynolds just as he was getting all-in against Ryan Fair after a series of preflop raises. As it turned out, Reynolds had run into one of the most infamous coolers in all of No Limit Hold'em.
Reynolds: 
Fair: 
The 
board failed to improve Reynolds hand and left him with just 2,600 behind. The very next hand Reynolds open raised all in.
"I've gotta push my fold equity while I have it," Reynolds joked.
Reynolds was re-raised and then re-re-raised by another player behind. The initial raiser folded and hands were revealed.
Reynolds: 
Opponent: 
The board failed to improve Reynolds and he was sent to the rail.

The Fabled Table Breaks
Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
It has been fun, but Table #423 has disbanded and the poker warriors sent scurrying to other paths, but not until we had one last hand.
We joined the action on a flop of 
with a whole host of players in the hand. The action checked around to Kevin Saul, on the button, and he bet 7,200. Next to act was Jeff Manza, in the small blind, and he check-raised to 15,700. Three folds later and Saul casually tossed in four orange 5k chips making it 27,200 to play. Manza made the call and we heading to the turn expecting carnage. The dealer gave us the 
and the table seemed to freeze in time, with the exception of the nodding-jesus toy, sat in front of Saul. Jesus was nodding away as both players eventually checked to the river. It was the on fifth street and Manza moved all-in. It only took Saul about one minute before he folded and Manza took in the pot. Saul said he folded pocket nines and Manza said he had a full-house.

Senti Moves Up and Kyle Julius Ships Out
The former November Niner, Jason Senti, has decided to give himself a gruelling World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule. Prior to his 2010 7th place main event finish, Senti was a No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha cash game specialist, and much sought after coach. Senti is up to 174,000 after his opponent moved all-in on the river and he was sat in wait holding quads - how do you teach that!
Kyle Julius is out but his brother Ryan is still in. Kyle losing a flip with pocket eights against the ace-jack of Joseph Urgo. Urgo is now up to 285,000 chips.

Lichtenberger Tank Folds the River
We caught up with the action on a completed board of 
. Andrew Lichtenberger checked from the hijack-position to his lone opponent, Daryl Jace, in the cutoff - who overbet the pot all-in for his last 60,000. Lichtenberger fell hard into the tank. He mulled his decision over, got a count of Jace's stack, and mulled it over some more.
After over five minutes, one of Lichtenberger's opponent's decided he'd had enough and asked for a clock. A tournament director came over and annoucned Lichtenberger had 60 seconds to act on his hand or it would be dead. Lichtenberger continued to tank, however, he finally gave his hand up just as the tournament director began the ten-second countdown.
Jace is sitting on 95,000 following the hand while Lichtenberger is at 90,000.
