Charlie Wiper was all in for his last 2,925 before the flop, and the action passed around to player across the table who spent some time considering. The players on either side of Wiper began to talk about the hand in progress, drawing the attention of the dealer. She told them to hold their conversation, and Wiper asked, "Am I allowed to say I want a call?" The dealer told him no, and Wiper said, "Well, I do!"
"Floor!" the dealer immediately called. Floorman Allen was soon by the table, and he laughed it off and implored Wiper to watch his chatter. "Don't worry, I'm about to bust anyways," Wiper said.
Indeed he would. His opponent eventually called with 
, and Wiper's 
were drawing slim. The board ran out 
, and Wiper is off to crush some powder on the slopes.

We picked up a four-way pot as the dealer put out a flop of 
. The player in the small blind checked, and the big blind led out with a bet of 625 into a 1,000-chip pot. Player #3 called, and so did Jason DeWitt in position, and the three of them continued to the turn.
It was the 
, and they each checked in turn to see the pair the board on the river. The big blind (a gentleman we figure is a local by virtue of his Reno Aces baseball hat) decided it was time for another bet, and he made it 2,000 to see his cards. Player #3 wasted no time flat-calling, and Jason DeWitt closed the action with a reluctant call.
Reno Aces showed 
for trips, and Player #3 tabled his 
for the flush. DeWitt had that third-best-hand look on his face, and he returned his cards to the muck to drop his stack under 17,000.

for a set and beat Hui's pair of jacks to win the pot. Hui was knocked down to 10,400 in chips.
Four players saw the flop for the minimum amount and it came . The two blinds checked to John Land, who had limped in preflop in middle position. He fired 500 and the hijack seat made the call. The two blinds folded.
The turn brought the and Land checked. His opponent tossed out a single T1,000 chip as his bet. Land gave it up and dropped down to 15,625.
