Team PokerStars Pro Online Isaac Haxton opened the action for 1,100 and the sharks circled as Paul Newey, Hans Winzeler, Carlos Chadha and small blind Steve O’Dwyer made the call. Chada asked to see how muck Haxton was playing (25,000) before they saw a flop of

Igor Kurganov was just knocked out of the tournament with Randal Flowers scooping up a big pile of chips. Flowers told us how he'd peeled Kurganov's under-the-gun raise with 
to see a 
flop. Kurganov check-raised Flowers' 1,500 bet to 5,000 and Flowers made the call to see an offsuit 
on the turn.
Kurganov then check-called a bet of 7,800 and a blank 
came on the river. Kurganov checked one last time and Flowers set his opponent all in for his last 28,000 or so. Apparently Kurganov had said he could've been able to fold if he'd had 
but called off and then mucked his hand when Flowers showed two pair.

Joni Jouhkimainen had said to our Finnish colleagues that he wasn't a big fan of his table draw and indeed, he's finding it tough so far. Chris Moorman, who has just joined the table, opened to 1,000 and Jouhkimainen three-bet to 2,550, Moorman came back over the top with a four-bet to 5,500 and the Finn folded.
It's going to be one of those days...

We joined the action as the floor was called. The flop 
had been dealt and the dealer had incorrectly pointed to one player who had checked and Shane Reihill had made a bet of 4,000. It then became clear that Craig McCorkell had not checked after all and Reihill put the chips back in his stack.
The first ruling the floor delivered was the McCorkell’s hand was declared dead, a penalty for not protecting his action, basically not paying attention. There was a mild uproar as McCorkell declared no way was his hand dead, he had been deciding what to do. The players insisted on a second opinion as they are entitled to.
The second ruling was different. McCorkell had forfeited the right to act on this round and Reihill’s bet would stand. Now Reihill objected, why should his bet stand when the dealer had indicated the action incorrectly? He felt he was being penalised. It was pointed out to him what did he think had happened before action had got to him?
A form of order was restored and McCorkell called the 4,000 bet from Reihill and it went to heads-up. The turn was the 
and with both players sure whose turn it was they both checked. The river 
was similarly checked. “Eight.” McCorkell said and turned over 
.
