On the turn with a board reading 
, Jediael Pires bet, Danny Alvarez raised to 40,000, Pires shoved, and Danny snapped, tabling 
for the overpair. Pires had

Rob Calabrese had a red-hot summer, cashing twice here during the Borgata Summer Poker Open, both of which were final table appearances.
In the $1M GTD opener, he finished sixth out of 1,925 entrants for $66,822*. Then about a week later, he final-tabled the $1,090 Eight Max NLH event, finishing third out of 111 runners for $13,334. He continued the hot-streak with three more four-figure scores in August.
Calabrese is also letting his outerwear speak today, wearing a shirt that says "I bet you I could stop gambling!"

Wayne "Tweety Bird" Walden of Suffolk, VA, says he's never been in the blog, so we're rectifying that situation here today. Walden also referred to himself as a "short stack", but with 51,000 chips, he's got 50 big blinds and that's plenty with which to work.
His hat says it all, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."

Dan Buzgon got his chips in holding 
against 
and the final board read 
. We're not sure when the chips went it, but the end result is the same. Buz - gone.
He'll be back, though, as who could resist firing another bullet at this juicy field.
