flop, on which Bech bet out 17,000. Collopy called and they proceeded.Both players checked the
turn, but Bech stuck in another bet on the
river, this time 35,000. Collopy removed his shades and paused his ipod, so it was clear that he was very serious about it. Eventually he called - and then mucked when Bech turned over
.
He and Veldhuis went off to a flop of
. They check-checked it, and the dealer plunked the
on fourth street. When his opponent checked again, Veldhuis made a delayed continuation bet of 15,000. His opponent had about 43,000 chips left in his stack, and he apparently intended to make the smooth call. Unfortunately for him, though, he accidentally stuck out 25,000, and the floor made him put in the extra 5,000 required for a legal raise. Veldhuis promptly moved all in, and the mistake-prone player could not bear the sight of his predicament. He stood from his chair, visibly frustrated, then splashed his final few thousand chips into the pot.Showdown
All-In Player:

Veldhuis:

Veldhuis was ahead with his pair of aces, and he'd tally the knockout if he could fade a river club. The

and Trinh made a continuation bet of 11,000. Carson re-raised to 26,000 and Trinh wasted little time in popping it to 53,000. Carson took a few moments, but made the call.The

flop. Toth checked it, called a bet from Strassmann, and they saw the
turn which both players checked.The river was the
, making a straight on the board, and now Toth bet out 46,000. Eventually Strassmann called - and then mucked in horror when Toth turned over
for a flush. He grumbled some things at Toth, which, though grumbled very quietly, we think amounted to a) he'd had Toth crushed on the flop, and b) he had flopped a set...

and this time Haigh checked. Gaines bet 37,000 and now Haigh disappeared into the tank for several long minutes. When he came out again he called, but just mucked and looked extremely unhappy when Lee Gaines turned over
