"YESSSS!!!"

Ernie Crespo moved all in for 14,700 and Paul Gallo called from the big blind.

Crespo {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

Gallo {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

The flop was {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {3-Spades}, no help for Crespo. The turn, though was the {J-Hearts}, opening up a straight draw for him.

"TEN!!!" demanded Crespo as the dealer burned and turned...

The {10-Clubs}.

"YESSSS!!!!" screamed Crespo as the pot was shipped his way, while the rest of his table rolled their eyes at his behavior.

You Gonna Be Here All Day?

Barry Greenstein's close friend and poker protege Mimi Tran just showed up on the rail to see how he was doing.

"You going to be here all day, Barry?" she asked.

"No, I don't think so" said Greenstein.

"How much do you have?" asked Tran.

"I don't know, like 70K?" he replied. "I've already lost a couple of pots."

"You're going to be here all day. I'll see you later!" laughed Tran as she exited the room.

Scott Seiver Eliminated

Having been crippled on a previous hand where his {A-?} {Q-?} couldn't improve against {9-?} {9-?}, Seiver moved all in for his remaining 4,400 and Kaveh Tehrani made the call from the small blind.

Seiver {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts}

Tehrani {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}

Once again Seiver was up against nines and couldn't survive. The board ran out {8-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and he hit the rail.

Paul Smith Eliminated by Jason Yates

After the pot was raised and reraised preflop, Paul Smith and Jason Yates saw a flop of {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}. Smith moved all in for 28,100. Yates let out something between a sigh and an "Ugggghhh!" and ultimately made the call.

Smith {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

Yates {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

Smith was on a pure bluff and Yates called with overs and the nut flush draw. The turn was the {Q-Spades}, the river was the {Q-Diamonds} and this time, Yates let out a "Wooooo-hooooo!" as he raked in the pot and eliminated Smith. He's now up to 143,000.
