Kvaal Turns The Full House
Action folded to Drake Roetker in the UTG+1 position. Roetker made it 30,000 and got a pretty quick flat from Kent Kvaal on his direct left. Players folded around to Tuan Le in the big blind, who decided to call.
Flop:
Le checked his action to Roetker, who continued for 45,000. Kvaal quickly called and Le folded.
Turn:
Both players checked and the came on the river to complete the flush draw.
Roetker checked his option and Kvaal tossed out four blue chips for a bet of 100,000. Roetker tanked for a good minute or so before sighing and making the call.
Kvaal:
Roetker saw the full house of Kvaal and shook his head as his cards went into the muck.

Lahti Loses His Stack To Nguyen
From across the room, a loud horrible reaction was heard. Players were up out of their seats to look at the board and see what had happened. When I approached, William Lahti, chip leader at the start of Day 2, was out of his seat staring at the table. "Hey William. What happened?" I was unaware that Lahti had been in the hand.
"I lost! Kings vs Aces! It's unbelievable!"
The Board was all low cards.
Long Nguyen:
William Lahti:
Nguyen had Lahti covered and Lahti finished the day in 37th place for a $1,650 payday.

Shaw Pushes Soleymani Out Of The Pot
Christopher James Shaw opened to 45,000 from the UTG+1 position. Action folded around to Soleymani in the big blind, who made the call and action was heads up.
Flop:
Soleymani quickly checked and Shaw considered the continuation bet briefly before checking as well.
Turn:
This time, it seemed as if Soleymani was considering the idea of leading out but after a few quick moments, he checked again. Shaw tanked for a moment and counted out two blue and two orange chips totaling a bet of 60,000. Just as Shaw pushed his chips forward, Soleymani snap folded, quickly sending his cards into the muck.

Cramer Forces Sebasta To Fold
Edward Sebesta raised to 60,000 and only had to face Alan Cramer in the big blind. Cramer tanked for a bit before putting in the additional 35,000 to call.
Flop:
Cramer checked his option to Sebesta who quickly continued for 60,000. Immediately, Cramer announced "All-in!" and tossed a single chip forward. Sebesta grabbed his head in shock and sat back to think.
Sebesta flashed his cards a few times while considering before asking for a count of Cramer's stack. Cramer was frozen in time while Sebasta visually looked like he wanted to call with a drawing hand perhaps.
Finally, Sebasta slowly pushed his cards forward while shaking his head.
