We found Eric Baldwin in a pot at the turn with the board showing
. Baldwin bet 550, one opponent called and two others folded.
The river came
, Baldwin checked and his opponent bet 1,200. Baldwin took a breath and then slung out 25,000 in T5,000 chips - enough to set his opponent all in. After just a few moments his opponent folded and Baldwin drug the pot.

We arrived at the table just in time to see Rex Clinkscales move all in on the river. The board was
and Rex led out with a nominal bet from the nine seat.
His opponent was in the one seat and apparantly didn't realize that Clinkscales had bet and his bet was enough for a legal raise.
Clinkscales then shoved and his opponent verbally announced that Clinkscales won the pot and "I would just like to see his hand." Since the opponent verbally folded Clinkscales waited until the dealer mucked his opponent's hand and then showed him
for a bluff.
"Dang it," his opponent said. "I knew I made a mistake."
