Hachem Snaps
We caught the action in the hand on the river with the board reading
and Hachem with an 80,000-chip bet into opponent Peter Traply. Traply thought for a few moments before making the call, showing 
which was good to collect the pot worth over 200,000 chips. Hachem calmly tapped the table, saying "Nice call" as he proceeded to muck his hand.That's when the real action started. Woody Deck, who was not involved in the hand, then asked to see Hachem's cards. Hachem replied that he didn't have to show since the winning hand had already been shown, and the dealer proceeded to muck his cards.
Deck then said to Hachem something along the lines of, "Are you trying to angle shoot or something? Don't be an asshole!"
Hachem, who at this stage was standing up to walk away from the table, then turned and in an incredible outburst, leaned across the table over Deck with a barrage of intimidating replies!
Hachem appeared set to physically take Deck apart before Antonio Esfandiari lept up from a nearby table and held Hachem back. By this stage security had stepped between Hachem and the table until things calmed down. Hachem then took a walk outside to cool off as the crowd frenzy settled down and play returned to some normality.
Heitmann Cracks Aces
Heitmann's pocket fours spiked a set on a flop of
against the pocket aces of Hallaert. The money was all-in but the turn and river ran out 
to give Heitmann a huge double up to around 160,000 while Hallaert is left lamenting missed opportunities with around 45,000.

. Hagen bet another 60,000 and Boukai immediately moved all in, sending Hagen into the tank for over 10 minutes. "Will you show me after? That I made a good laydown? I played this hand great. It's gonna be embarrassing" he said, talking through his decision aloud as the media swarmed the table. Finally, Hagen flashed A-A and mucked and the 250,000 pot was shipped to Boukai.
Hagen was left with only 45,000 after the hand.
