Jason Strasser, Michael Banducci and Allen Cunningham are seated at the same table and have been discussing "The Box", the sequestered area where Banducci played at the final table of Event 10, $2,000 No-Limit Hold-Em. The words "it sucks" were used, because your friends and family can't watch as you play for a bracelet. Players are also quarantined during breaks--they're escorted to the bathroom to prevent the players from gathering info gleaned from the live broadcast.
C.K. Hua moved all-in after a 6-8-9 flop, only to find that his K-9 was crushed after his opponent flopped a straight with 10-7. But the turn brought a 6 and the river a 9 to give Hua the pot. He's now at 6,500.
Phil Gordon just went over to congratulate his friend Allen Cunningham on his recent bracelet win. He was heard to say "Can I borrow one, you have five!".
After calling a 500 bet on the flop David Williams and another player checked it down the rest of the way. The other player mucked his cards, conceding the hand...and Williams didn't show his cards either as the chips were pushed his way. You never know, you might actually have the best of it.
The board read . A player bet 400 on the turn from middle position and Nam Le called from the small blind. The river was and both players checked. Le showed and picked up the pot with two pair.
