Arturo Toscano

Matt Perlman raised to 10,000 in middle position, Arturo Toscano moved all in for 29,500 on the button, and Perlman called.

Arturo Toscano: A♦8♣ All in
Matt Perlman: Q♦J♥

"Low cards. Low cards," Toscano repeated as the flop came 10♠10♣9♣, giving Perlman a straight draw. "Low cards," Toscano continued chanting as he stood up from his seat.

The 6♦ turn was safe, while the 3♣ fell on the river to give him his double up.

Things Get Testy Between Toscano, Hebert

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Allan Lee raised to 9,000 in the cutoff and Arturo Toscano called in the small blind. Nicholas Hebert then three-bet to 35,000 in the big blind, and only Toscano called.

Hebert moved all in on the J♠8♣3♠ flop, and Toscano quickly folded. Hebert then accused Toscano of pretending to put his chips in and asked for a tournament official to come over.

"He's done it two or three times already," Hebert said.

"That's not true," Toscano replied. The official then gave Toscano a warning about making forward motion.

Kevin Elwood
Kevin Elwood

Shortly after winning the big pot off Ricky Gebhart, John Roberts got involved in another pot against Kevin Elwood as they went to the turn on a board of 8♦7♥J♣7♣. Elwood then got in his last 80,000 from the hijack, and Roberts put him at risk in the cutoff.

Roberts showed A♣A♠, but Elwood had turned trips with 7♦5♥. The river was the J♦, and Elwood improved to a full house to earn the double up.
