Cliff 'Johnny Bax' Josephy
With the final board showing , Gus Hansen bets 45,000 from the small blind, and Cliff "Johnny Bax" Josephy calls from middle position. Hansen shows for a full house, queens full of sixes, and Josephy flashes a six (for a lower full house, sixes full of queens) before he mucks.
Hansen wins the pot, and Cliff Josephy is down to just 40,000 in chips.
John Duthie was just sent packing when the of Gus Hansen outflopped his . Hansen was apparently remorseful to catch the three-outer as he repeatedly told Duthie, "I'm sorry John...that's sick...I had the worst hand again."
Lee Klosty has experienced both -- all within the confines of one hand. He would have been elated to find as his stack was getting a little low, and getting his chips in with one caller would have made him smile as well. Not when his opponent, Hyon Kim, rolled over .
The flop came to further dampen Lee's spirits.
The turn however was a miracle to give him the Broadway straight.
The river gave us proof however, that the best hands can win. The gave Kim a full house and busted Lee from this event.

Amnon Filippi waits for his bustout slip after busting
Unfortunately, to make sure that every eliminated player receives credit for the proper place finished (and the appropriate money), they must wait at their table for up to a minute after busting -- until a runner makes their way with a slip indicating the place. (Floorpeople radio bustouts by table and seat number to the central podium, so the bustout order is correct.)
Most players want to disappear as quickly as possible once they bust, but now they must linger and watch their final opponent stack the chips which were formerly theirs.
Van Hsia moved in for his last 56,000 with and Chris Lovelace called with pocket tens. The board did not improve Van Hsia's hand and his day came to an end.
Rep Porter and another player are all in preflop. Porter has and the opponent has 8-8. The board comes and Rep Porter busts the player, moving up to 820,000.
It's perhaps a bit surprising that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often, but still -- the player at Table 24, Seat 3 moved all in with and was called by Jimmy Blevins holding . The flop gave both players a pair, but on the turn Blevins hit the to make trips.
At which point the player facing elimination slammed his fist down on the table so hard that it made the chips on the table jump. And then, when the hit the river and he knew he'd been eliminated, he LIFTED THE ENTIRE TABLE UP OFF THE GROUND and sent the chips and cards scattering all over the place.
The players were able to protect their chips to keep them from spilling into a great messy pile, and the player who lost the hand was quickly removed from the table. The security cameras caught the whole episode, and from what we've heard he's going to be paid out, and then escorted from the building. We're not mentioning his name because we want to make 300 percent sure we have the right name (the players at his table weren't sure) and we don't want to libel the innocent.
On a board of , J.C. Tran moved all in with . Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken called with . Gigabet busted Tran with a straight. He increased his stack to 515,000.
