Sai Wang opened with a raise from middle position, then it folded around to Gregory Masters in the small blind who repopped it to 85,000. The action back on Wang, he thought a bit before pushing all in for 422,000 total, and Masters didn't wait long to call.
Masters tabled 
, then nodded as he saw Wang's hand across the table — 
.
"You play that sh*t?" cracked Masters and Wang grinned. The flop came 
, then the 
provided some heart-related drama. But the river was the 
and the pair chopped the pot.

Earlier in the day, we reported on a hand where Panitch flopped a set of nines, rivered a full house, and took down a huge pot. Well Panitch has just won another huge pot, catching the same set of nines on the flop.
Action started with Jose Montes raising it up to 22,000 in the hijack. Panitch three bet it to 60,000 in the cutoff, and the rest of the players folded. Montes came along for the ride, and both players checked a flop of 
. When the 
hit the turn, Montes grabbed his chips, and started sliding them forward. Panitch announced call before Montes could even finish moving his chips forward, and it was pretty clear that the trap had sprung.
Panitch: 
Montes: 
Montes was actually drawing dead on the flop, and when he saw the cards, he stood out of his chair and starting wishing the players good luck. The meaningless river was the , and after that hand, Panitch jumps up to 750,000.

After an opening raise from early position from Dennis Thurman, Patrick Halter reraised all in from a few seats over and when it folded back around Thurman called.
Thurman:
Halter:
Halter's hand looked best before the flop, but when the community cards brought a clutch of hearts — 
— the heart in Thurman's hand meant he had the best hand after with a flush draw. Halter wished his table mates good luck and headed to the cashier's desk.
