Word has reached the press room that Steve O'Dywer is no more. Don't worry, he's alive and well, just out of the tournament.
The details are very vague but we do know he was holding 
to Yury Gulyy's

We caught up with the action to see a board of 
spread on the felt. With well over 19,000 already in the middle, we found Dan Smith pondering his action. He continued to do so for about sixty seconds before finally cutting out 12,800. Pietro Paolo Sibione in the next seat over flat called and action was on a third player at the other end of the table. He released as there were two left going to the river.
The dealer produced the 
on the last street and Smith once again went into the tank. Time was called but by the time the floor staff came over Smith tapped the table to check. Sibione checked right back.
Smith showed 
but was ultimately behind Sibione's 
. Smith watched as the pot of roughly 45,000 chips was pushed toward his opponent. Smith is still above starting stack, however, with roughly 32,500.
Sibione, on the other hand, is now sporting about 71,000 in chips.

Nitsche called and then stared at the Canadian as he bet 5,900 on the 
turn. Nitsche moved all in for about 17,000 and Ladouceur had to admit defeat and fold.

Poker is all about concealment, whether it’s the strength of your hand or the discreet tells that might give you away. For one player though it goes a little further than that, while across the way an obvious distraction makes concealment practically impossible. Read on at the PokerStars Blog.
