I Want It Alstyne
, he would be going for the low, but Van Alstyne flipped over a most surprising 
for a rivered full house to scoop the pot. It isn't clear whether he was holding trip eights or a mere two pair on sixth street, though.

Late Additions
Calling with a Sigh
and facing a bet of 200 on the river, Robert Williamson III calls his neighbor reluctantly, sighing in the process. Whilst Robert shows 
for the six-high straight, it's not enough to take the entire pot, his foe revealing 
for the nut flush.While Robert sits on 5,650 in chips, tablemate Michael Binger is flying great guns with 7,550.

) and Chris Reclock (
) both go crazy on the final street -- Cassidy betting, Reslock raising, Cassidy raising again and Reslock capping, thus forming a monster pot.Whilst Reslock showed

Eskimo Freezes
-- he was holding 
for the nut low draw and an up-and-down straight draw. But a cruel deuce on the river counterfeited his low, made him absolutely no straights, and his opponent scooped the pot. Horrified, Eskimo stared down at his cards for a while, unable to speak or move. This can be a harsh game sometimes.
The Tank Charges Ahead
Speaking to my German friend during the break, I learned of Danzer's early rise courtesy of a curious seven-card stud hand. Holding
in the hole with a showing, Danzer three-bet but somehow managed to reach fourth street with three other players. He was dealt the
for two pair, but after a 
, 
and 
, George had turned his two pair into a disguised flush, one that was good enough to take the whole pot with no one able to muster a low.In that same hand, Paul "Eskimo" Clark had made three queens, which possibly explains why he is down to 3,350 in chips.
