The button-player raised, Paul Carney three-bet to 2,500 from his small blind and was called.
On the flop Carney check-called a 4,000 continuation bet and then checked the turn. His opponent asked to see Carney's stack, and then pushed forward a stack of blue 5,000 chips, which was more than enough to put Carney all-in. Carne took a brief pause before making the call.
Paul Carney:
Opponent:
Even before the dealer fanned the river Carney had no sweat whatsover and remarked that he was obviously never folding, but did the quick dramatic pause to be sure the write-up had a little extra time to get all of the details.
After a call from a middle-position player and Thien Tran in his small blind, the big-blind player made it 1,700 to go and was called by both players.
Tran, first to act, checked the flop, the big-blind player did a continuation bet of 2,100 and was called by Tran. On the turn Tran decided to do the betting and led out with 5,500, which was enough to take down the pot.

2007 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jerry Yang was next to act in the hijack and he thought for a bit before raising all in for around 26,000.
Action folded back to Hughes and he called off for 5,600 total.

Jerry Yang:
Hughes had flopped top pair but was in dire straits against Yang, who had a set. The turn gave Hughes a straight draw, but he missed as the bricked on the river.
WPT champ and two-time time WSOP bracelet winner Anthony Zinno raised to 800 from the cutoff and the player in the big blind defended to see a flop.
The big blind check-called a bet of 800 and then both players checked the turn, which paired the board and put out three hearts.
The river made it four hearts and again the big blind checked.
Zinno looked as if he was contemplating a bet but ultimately checked behind. He's probably glad he did as the big blind tabled the for the turned flush.
