In one of the last hands of Level 10, action folded to Ting Ho, a National Championship qualifier and the girlfriend of Rex Clinkscales, and she moved all in on the button for right around 10,000. Pejman Niyati called from the small blind and the big got out of the way.
Niyati:
Ho:
"Oh, you've got it," Niyati said upon discovering he was behind. "At least I have live cards."
Indeed he did and that's all he needed as the flop paired his king and gave him the lead. Neither the turn nor river helped Ho and she made her way to the rail where Clinkscales awaited.
At the tail end of Level 10 a big hand took place that saw Rahul Deevara hit 100K in chips.
We're not sure of the action, though our best guess is it went in preflop, but Deevara got all those chips after his overcame the of an unknown and clearly upset opponent. The board read and Deevara was all smiles.
Ting Ho opened to 1,800 from early position, and the action folded to "Boston" Rob Mariano, who defended his big blind. The flop fell , Mariano checked, and Ho continued for 2,200. Mariano called.
Mariano knuckled again when the turned, Ho checked behind, and the paired the board on the river. Mariano grabbed what appeared to be all of his chips, firing 15,500 forward. Ho tanked for less than a minute, then called.
The four-time Survivor contestant turned over for a turned flush, and Ho mucked her hand.
World Series of Poker Foxwoods Main Event champ Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul knows how to win, but apparently he doesn't know the difference between a purple T500 chip and a gray T5,000 chip. To his credit, the lighting up on the stage isn't the greatest, so it's an understandable mistake.
It happened in hand just before the dinner break where there was approximately 5,000 in the pot and a board reading . A player in middle position bet 1,700, Saul called from the cutoff and the turn. This time the middle-position player checked and then moved all in for 8,900 after Saul bet 2,700.
It wasn't much more to Saul, who had a mountain of chips, but he took his time. The other players at the table eyed him carefully until he eventually folded.
"I think I know what happened there," Circuit regular Kenny Milam said. "Did you think those were grays?"
Just like that the light bulb went off for Saul. "I thought he shoved for 35,000 or something," he said. Saul, who claimed to have folded , seemed a little disappointed at first but soon let it go. "It's alright. The lighting in here is bad. You guys did the right thing by not saying anything during the hand."
