Sweeney then held up his cards for the table to see and, incredibly, it was 
, precisely as Rheem had predicted down to the suits.
"I might have to call the floor after that one!" Sweeney laughed.
"You like that one, huh?" Rheem replied after raking in the pot. "It's the only hand I beat ... I gave you respect, I know it has to be suited when you call out of the small blind."
"You're like Daniel Negreanu!" someone at the table exclaimed.

Sam Greenwood told PokerNews that he had recently sprained his ankle and has adjusted his sitting position while at the table to ease stress on it.
He also sent out a tweet explaining just how he's adjusted, and while his hammies may be hurting, he still has chips, while the man who's posture he's emulating will have to fire a second bullet in this tournament.

After Andrea Ricci raised to 800 in the cutoff, Dzhavad Abdolvand mistakenly put out one yellow T-1,000 chip and four T-100 chips for a total of 1,400.
Abdolvand had apparently intended to call, but the floor was called to clarify what the action should be declared as. It was ruled that because the amount of chips was greater than 50 percent of the original raise it would be deemed a minimum raise to 1,500.
With that cleared up, Ricci quickly called.
The flop came 
and Abdolvand led out for another 2,600, which Ricci called.
On the 
turn, Abdolvand now checked to Ricci, who bet 2,500. Abdolvand called.
The river came the 
and both players checked.
Abdolvand showed 
for a flopped pair of tens which held up as the winner.

.
Orpaz checked and Kaladurdevic bet 18,000 to prompt a chorus of whines from his opponent.
"Ugh! Obviously, I can't beat a full house. I don't think I can fold here," the very talkative Orpaz told the table before ultimately calling.
"Full house," Kaladurdevic said as he showed 
for eights full of queens.
"Look at this shit!" Orpaz shouted as he showed the 
for a flush. "Unbelievable. Another cooler."
The next hand, Orpaz played a pot against Hirokazu Kobayashi and bet on the flop of 
. Kobayashi called. Orpaz then moved all in on the 
turn and Kobayashi called off with a short stack.
Tom Orpaz: 
Hirokazu Kobayashi: 
Orpaz was ahead with a set and took down the pot to bust Kobayashi after the 
river. But Orpaz' mind was still on the previous hand.
"Cooler after cooler! You're a coach, what did I do wrong in that hand?!" Orpaz asked table mate Faraz Jaka.
