There was just under 10,000 in the pot on a board reading and heads-up action between the player in the small blind and Mario Hudson, who was in the hijack. The small blind fired out a bet of 6,500 and Hudson thought for a few moments before tossing in chips to call. The river fell and the small blind checked. Hudson checked behind to take the hand to showdown.

Hudson showed after checking back and his opponent hit the table to signify a nice hand, doing so with the slightest inflection of frustration before sending his cards tot he muck.

Perpich Showers a Shorty

HillKerby

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player shoved for his last 5,000 or so from under the gun and action folded around to Bill Perpich, who reraised all in from the cutoff. All remaining players folded and the two tabled their hands.

All-In Player:
Bill Perpich:

The all-in player remarked as he tabled his hand about hoping that he was not dominated preflop. After seeing Perpich's two overcards, he affirmed that he was happy his hand was at least live. His two live cards picked up four more outs on the flop , however he would be left high and dry after the turn and river fell to finish the runout. He exchanged pleasantries of a good game with the table and made his way from the tournament area.
