Huntly and two other players are unhappy with this. "Ten to eight would be fine," said one player, "but nine to seven is completely different." Another player added, "If I wanted to play seven-handed, I'd have signed up for the side event!"

Tom Rafferty fired out 2,200 at the pot, only to be check-raised to 5,700.Rafferty looked his opponent up and down several times over, then back at the board, before making the call to see the
land on the turn.His opponent threw out a single yellow 5,000-denomination chip to put Rafferty in the tank.
After several minutes Rafferty moved all in for roughly 19,000 to prompt a quick fold from his opponent as he stacked his chips to over 34,000 and change.
Having met several friends in the gaming world who'd made the same career move, Noh turned to them for poker lessons and in no time, found himself multitabling on PokerStars. Since then, Noh has advanced to Supernova Elite status on PokerStars and can often be found online playing as many as 24 tables at a time.
Noh's live game has taken great strides over the past year as well. At last year's APPT Manila Main Event, Noh took part in an epic heads-up battle against Australia's Van Marcus that lasted over six hours. Noh ultimately finished runner-up in that event, but earned a very respectable USD $103,760 payday for his efforts -- his largest score to date.

The under-the-gun player then made an (illegal) re-raise to 2,600. Nobody at the table seemed to notice that the raise was 100 chips less than would be required for a minimum raise. If Tan noticed, he said nothing, choosing instead to call.
The turn was the
. Tan's opponent again made a suspiciously small bet of 2,300 chips into a pot with 7,600 chips in it. But it wasn't enough to induce another call from Tan. He folded, preserving his count at 16,250.
, Winfred Yu lead out with a 10,000-chip bet into two opponent's.With only 9,150 left in his stack; one opponent called the all in as the other passed.

Only one out would see Yu lose the pot following both players flopping sets, and once the

"I sucked out on him reeeeeeeal good," said Cunz. "Gamble, gamble my friend."
Cunz seems to have been blessed by the God of Fortune. We saw him win a heads-up pot with king-high

flop and 2,300 on the 
turn. Both players checked the 
river, where Cunz's king played.He is up to 47,000.
