Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
A player opened to 500 and Jared Jaffee grabbed four chips meaning to reraise to 1,600. He grabbed the wrong chips, however, and actually bet 16,000. The blinds are at 100/200 mind you, so this was a massive overbet. Everyone folded and Greg Ostrander gave a curious look to Jaffee.
"Was that a misclick?" Ostrander asked.
Jaffee didn't understand at first but once he realized he had thrown out the wrong chips, he gave a sheepish grin.
"Everyone at the table was praying for aces," Ostrander laughed.

Last Hand of Action
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Galen Hall raised to 500 and got three callers. On the 
flop, everybody checked and Hall then called 700 on the 
turn from the player in the big blind. One further opponent stuck around as well and the 
river completed the board. Hall bet 3,175 and that was good enough to take down the pot as both opponents folded.
Hall showed the 
and said "last hand of action," as the table got broken shortly after. "Ah well, I got one through or would have had to rebuy." Let's see how he is doing on the next table.

Gohr no More
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Sebastian Gohr raised to 700 after one player limped and two seats over, Tony Dunst three-bet to 2,100. The limper folded and the German moved all in for his remaining 7,075 chips after giving it some thought. Dunst snap called:
Dunst: 
Gohr: 
The board ran out 
and Gohr was no more.

Galen Hall Enters and Bluffs Off Some Chips
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
We got to the table and well known poker professional Galen Hall has a large bet in front of him with the board showing 
. His opponent, Dan Harkenrider, was mulling over his decision and started to put the call out into the center of the table but drew it back at the last second.
"Oh, the good old pump fake," laughed Hall.
Harkenrider said "my two pair got counterfeited on the river" but then added "I think you missed your flush draw" and made the call.
"Nope, didn't miss the flush draw, but you're good still," said Hall, as he mucked his hand. Harkenrider turned over and would take down the pot.
"I leveled myself into making a very bad call there," Harkenrider said.
"Seems like it worked out for you," Hall smiled, not seeming bothered in the least bit by the early hit to his stack.
