Near Fireworks On the First Hand
On the first hand of the "unofficial" final table, action folded around to the player on the button, Kevin Calenzo. He raised to 65,000 and Dutch Boyd folded his small blind. Joe Kuether had other ideas, however, as he three-bet to 165,000. The two players exchanged some words about the size of each others stacks and Calenzo put in a four-bet to 340,000 total. After a few moments, Kuether let go of his hand.
Calenzo, who has been one of the tightest players through the past five or six levels, flipped over the 
on purpose as he mucked cards and gave a grin to his friends on the rail. It's clear that Calenzo has come to this table to win.
