We had an all in and a call preflop between Craig Mccorkell and Huy Nguyen.

Nguyen: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Mccorkell: {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}

The flop gave Nguyen the lead when it fell {3-Spades} {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, but the turn shifted things back to Mccorkell when it came {10-Clubs}. The river fell {8-Spades} and Nguyen sent 46,000 chips over to Mccorkell.

Georato Busts Stevanovski

We caught up to the table to find Robert Stevanovski walking away as the dealer shouted "Pay out, 447!".

Raking in the pot was Robert Georato who had {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} in front of him with the board reading {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The nuts were surely good enough to take the hand down and Table 447 is now five-handed.

A $10 Lime

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kyle Julius is seated in Seat 1 and near the rail. He's got a friend sweating him and they just ordered a fresh pair of beers. Julius took his lime and spotted a trash can some 20 feet away.

"Three-to-one on $10 if I make this?" Julius asked his buddy.

"Bet," he replied.

Julius let the lime sail and missed by a good five feet to the right. He jumped up, chased down the lime and said, "How about 2-1 from here? I'm going underhanded."

He sunk the shot, walked past his friend and said, "You owe me $10."
