Ray Davis Wants an Autograph

Barry Greenstein -- who is known for signing a copy of his book and giving it to whoever knocks him out of a tournament -- has just been moved to Raymond Davis's table.

As he sat down Raymond was heard yelling: "Whoo-ee! I'm
finally gonna get me a copy of your book!"

Angelil Refuses to Show Cards

After calling an opponent's all-in on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Rene Angelil refused to turn his cards over, after seeing that his opponent had flopped quads.

The floor was called to the table and instructed Rene to turn them face-up; he obliged, revealing {K-Spades}{10-Spades}, but the hand had already been decided.

Afterwards, Rene was left with 11,500 chips.

Lights and Sirens

The emergency alert system here at the Rio has been activated for approximately the fifth time since the Series began.

The players must now deal with an extremely annoying strobe light which flashes nonstop about once per second.

Jordan Morgan Doubles Up

Facing a 2,500 raise from an early-position player, Jordan reraised to 6,500. The early-position player reraised Jordan all in, and Jordan called. The cards were tabled with Jordan's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} a favorite over the EP player's {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The board came out {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} and the queens held up, increasing Jordan's stack to 46K.

Rollin' on the River

Barry Greenstein limped in from the cutoff with {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and the player on the button moved all in for 2,500. Greenstein made the call and his opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

The flop looked promising for Greenstein's opponent, who paired his ten: {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The next card off the deck was the {4-Clubs}, giving Barry just three outs to win the hand.

To the dismay of his opponent, the {J-Clubs} fell on the river, giving Barry the checkmark for the hand.

Barry's chip stack stood right around 38,000 after the hand.

Tilly's Stack Grows

Jennifer Tilly just picked up a nice pot; she called a 12K flop bet from a late-position player on a {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop.

When the {10-Clubs} came on the turn, she led out for 10K and her opponent released. Tilly now has over 60K.
