The turn was the and gave Loh his flush. Beijer rooted for the board to pair, but when the hit the river, he was eliminated. He smacked his fist on the table and left the room.
Will Souther was on the next table over. He asked Loh his name and then told him that he had chip envy.

Sometimes all it takes to inject a little life into a room is an F-bomb. A player in the Blue section just let fly a very loud, very angry, "F*CK!" bringing lots of chatter from the whole room. When we sent a reporter to investigate, it turned out that the player was just frustrated from a long run of cold cards and folded (with authority) another poor starting hand.
Preflop, Jerry Yang raised to 1,600 and he was reraised by Justin Marsh to 7,775. This was enough to put Marsh all in. Yang made the call. Before the board was run, Yang kissed the picture of his family.
