Tony G Here Also
With the board reading
G checked to his one opponent, who bet 8,000, totally devoid of expression. G, who'd found himself in the hand on his big blind, gave it some thought but ultimately opted to pass.
Farrell Pays Off Set
. He really took his time making the decision, but when he was shown 
for the flopped set, it became clear it was the wrong one and he mucked his hand, down to 14,000.Other counts:
Daniel Negreanu - 53,000
Patrick Bueno - 55,000
Ramzi Jelassi - 15,300
Antony Lellouche - 37,500
Chris Ferguson - 29,000
Jelinek Makes Quads
Turns out Jelinek had raised in the cutoff and the button had reraised. Jelinek made it 6,000, the button made it all in, Jelinek gave it some thought but decided to go for it. Button turned over aces, naturally. BANG! Quads on the flop.
Lucky Mr. Jelinek is up to 62,000.
Arnaud Mat-terns Up the Pressure
The flop came
. Arnaud now raised his opponent's 6,000 bet by another 6,200. Much more quickly than he'd made the raise, he got a fold and swept in the tidy pot, tabling for good measure.

Moneymaker Tilting
The first hand developed quietly enough. Moneymaker bet 1,700 on a flop of
and was check-called by one opponent. Both players checked the 
turn. When the river fell 
, Moneymaker's opponent checked again, inducing a bet of 2,500 from Moneymaker. His opponent quickly called. Moneymaker turned over a pair of sevens, 
. He lost to 
and immediately began mumbling into his beard.The very next hand, Moneymaker was one of three players to call a preflop raise, and the only player to call after the preflop raiser followed up with a bet of 1,500 on a flop of
. Both players checked the turn. When the hit the river, Moneymaker's opponent bet out 3,000."Man, do I play good," muttered an obviously frustrated Moneymaker. He repeated that sentence two more times before slamming his cards into the muck. "Good hand," he told his opponent.
Lellouche Gets No Callers
board, Antony Lellouche moved in for 17,000, marked by a crowd of railers closing in on the table (they'd been lurking because Chris Ferguson is also at that table, but any bustout is a good bustout as far as idle railers are concerned). His one opponent folded though, and Lellouche is back up to 37,000 or so.
