"Don't Splash the Pot!"

After a preflop raise to 1,200, a second player raised to 3,600 and only Wayne Brown made the call, out of the big blind. The flop was all babies -- {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. Brown checked, then called a bet of 6,000 from his opponent. The turn {J-Diamonds} was Brown's gin card. He checked, then quickly called when his opponent moved all in. Brown made top set on the turn with his {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}, putting him handily ahead of his opponent's {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. The turn bricked out {10-Spades}.

As Brown's opponent was leaving the table, he splashed all of his chips into the pot, rather than just pass the stacks across the table. The message seemed to be, if you bust out of the Main Event, you can splash the pot all you want.
