It helped that Table 242 is right in front of media row.
"I didn't want to hit that queen," said Daniel Negreanu. He was at the river against a single opponent. The board was
, with Negreanu betting the flop (he was called) and turn (he was raised). Negreanu called the turn raise, then check-folded to a bet on the river.Negreanu flashed
before folding. His opponent never opened his own four cards but later claimed to hold 
for a straight to the king.Negreanu took the hit without much concern. He still has a very healthy 8,000 in chips.
Jeff Lisandro is down to 2,800 in chips after being counterfeited in a hold'em pot. His early position raise was called only by the small blind, giving Lisandro position for the rest of the hand. His opponent check-called a bet on a flop of
and check-called again on the 
turn. When the river fell
, both players checked. Lisandro turned over two pir, 
, but he lost to his opponent's naked ace, 
, which made aces up using the board pair of fours.
The board came out
with Smith check-calling on every street. At showdown, his opponent turned over . Smith mucked.
"That's the only way we could beat [Phil] Ivey," joked Ferguson. "If it was a craps shoot."
Shortly thereafter, Ferguson was in the small blind during a hand of hold'em and three-bet a late position raiser before the flop. That player called to a flop of
. Ferguson bet the flop, bet the turn then check-called a bet from his opponent on the river . We never got to see Ferguson's hand; he mucked upon being shown 
.
One of the later arrivals to this tournament was David Bach. He just took down a nice pot from a single opponent. We caught the action on sixth street, where the boards were
Bach: x-x /
Opponent: x-x /
Bach's opponent checked then called a single bet. The action was the same on the river, with Bach producing
for a full house. His opponent mucked.Despite that pot, Bach is on only 2,900 chips.

Erick Lindgren
Phil Ivey
Lindgren is seated at the Sam Simon / Ray Davis / Jen Harman / Annie Duke table. He played a recent three-way pot of Stud Hi-Lo with Davis and one other player. On fifth street, the boards were
Davis: x-x /
Opponent: x-x /
Lindgren: x-x /
Lindgren and Davis checked to the third player. His bet was raised by Lindgren, chasing Davis out of the pot.
Lindgren caught another trey on sixth street against his opponent's
. Those open two pair brought a sixth street and seventh street bet from Lindgren. At showdown he opened 
in the hole for a full house; his opponent showed 
for a seven-six low and a chopped pot.
"Hey Mike," Smith called out. "Did you put that in your book - about throwing your computer in your pool?"
"No," replied Matusow sheepishly.
"I think people would like to hear that," said Smith. It was at that point that Matusow, with his eye on the Lakers game, went off in search of Jerry Buss.
