Empty Seats and Broken Tables
Nam Le Over 70k
The flop came down
and the player checked to Le. After asking how much the player had left in his stack (7,525), Le put him all in. The player folded and Le picked up the pot.On the next hand, the player that took the flop with Le last hand, limped in from middle position. Le raised to 1,100 and the big blind called.

Moneymaker's Bluff Called
In a battle of the blinds, Moneymaker opened a
flop for 800. His opponent raised to 2,200 and Moneymaker called. Both players checked when the third spade fell on the turn, 
. That gave Moneymaker an opening to fire 3,000 on a 
river. His opponent, however, wasn't about to lay down trips and made the call with 
.After Moneymaker flipped his cards into the muck, he shook his head ever so slightly and his shoulders heaved a sigh. His stack is down to 25,000.
Negreanu's Mis-Bet No Problem
Negreanu was a late-position pre-flop raiser in a recent hand and was re-raised by the player in the cutoff. Negreanu called, creating an 11,000-chip pot. Both players checked the board all the way to the river,
. That's where Negreanu made a rainbow bet of one brown chip (10,000), one red chip (5,000) and one yellow chip (1,000). His opponent gave the matter some thought and then folded."I meant to bet 11,500," remarked Negreanu with a smile as the pot was pushed to him. He's now sitting behind 40,000.
BeL0Wbe0UT
Saul fell to 17,000 early but built back to starting stack in typical hyper-aggressive fashion. No one blinked when he made a standard raise to 600, and the button repopped to 4,000. But this time, Saul had a hand - pocket kings.
He thought he was angle-shooting for value when he raised to 8,000 and then pretended he was just confused about the chip colors. Not so, as the button shoved. Saul snap called to discover that he'd run his cowboys squarely into aces. No help from the board, and that's Saul she wrote.
