Gordon Staring at Ceiling
and with about 13,000 in the pot already, Dan Harrington led into Phil Gordon for 9,000 chips. Gordon tanked for a surprisingly long time, long enough for a player at the table to request a clock from TD Jack McLelland. That was enough for Gordon to call."Ugh," said Gordon in disgust upon seeing Harrington's full house, fours full of nines,
. He angrily flipped his own cards towards the dealer. "Nice catch."Gordon continues to trend downwards for the day, now sitting with less than 100,000 chips.

Was It a Bluff or Not?
The flop was ace-high,
. Vedes checked to Levi, who fired out 5,500. Lacay and Vedes both called to the turn, a third club, the 
. Everyone checked. When the river paired the board 
, Vedes bet 14,500.Levi went into the tank for about a minute and a half before folding his hand. Lacay shook his head and quickly followed suit, prompting Vedes to hold his cards high in the air as a camera crew was right over his shoulder, filming the action. Then Vedes mucked.
"No bluff," said Lacay. "I don't think you can ever bluff there."
"He can tell you," Vedes replied, referring to the cameraman. "Was it a bluff?"
"I don't understand poker. I just work here."
Everyone at the table laughed, but Lacay persisted by asking what cards Vedes had shown. Vedes took the initiative to reply himself.
"Two flowers," he said. Then he added, "You're supposed to call there David. Ace-queen?"
Levi did not reply.

The Mouth Revs Up
"You do have Sorel Mizzi at your table though," Matusow noted. "But you have position on him. Nothing better than having position on an idiot." Mizzi just grinned.
More recently, Matusow got up from his table and came over to Patrik Antonius. "Hey Patrik, I heard they're playing $500-$1,000 upstairs, four different games," joked Matusow. He was referring, of course, to the durrrr Challenge in which Antonius has been taking part for most of the year.
Matusow himself has not been playing internet poker since arriving in Cyprus. "The internet here is a joke," he whinged. "It doesn't work. I don't know how it doesn't work, it just doesn't. Next break I have to move rooms."
