Minieri - more than just a fish to us
Things were looking kind of shaky for EPT Grand Final runner up Matt Woodward, but he's made a bit of a recovery.
He and Dario Minieri saw a flop and Minieri check-called a bet from Woodward. In fact Minieri check-called every street of the board, and Minieri mucked when Woodward showed him pocket tens for the straight to put him up to 27,500.
"Nice hand," said Minieri, "I called ace-high. Ace deuce."
"Really?" asked Woodward laconically.
"Not ace deuce," Minieri u-turned. "I'm just a fish."

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey raised the button and Liz Lieu popped it up from the small blind. Ivey reraised once again, committing his last chips with Lieu calling.
Ivey showed and if there was ever a hand that pocket deuces wanted to see, it was the tabled by Lieu.
The board fell and Ivey holds to double through to about 7,000 in chips.

No Lieu-ser
Liz Lieu raised and was met with a reraise from the button. The small blind called and back around to Lieu, she three bet. Calls from the button and small blind respectively led them three-way to the flop.
The small blind bet out and Lieu raised; Mr. Button got out of the way but the small blind called and they moved on.
Both players checked the turn, and when the small blind bet out on the river, Lieu called with just pocket -- and it was good! Her opponent could only boast , and Lieu is up to 19,000.

Toto Leonidas raised in late position and Phil Ivey three-bet from the small blind. Leonidas called and they saw an flop. Ivey bet out but Leonidas called and they saw a turn. This time Ivey checked and it was Leonidas' turn, if you'll pardon the pun, to bet. A fold from Ivey and he is left with just 8,500. Leonidas is not faring much better though -- that pot put him up to a still not great 13,000.

Joy! Who says this isn't a gambling game?
No fewer than six players made it to see a flop -- Justin Smith bet and got, er, five callers.
Come the turn Eli Elezra just open-folded; very interesting. Daniel Negreanu, Jerrod Ankenman and Steve Kim all checked to Justin Smith, who bet. The gent to his left passed, and back to Negreanu, who passed as well. Ankenman raised, though, and both Kim and Smith called. You following all this? Good.
The river was the and now Ankenman checked. Kim bet and both Smith and Ankenman called -- but mucked when Kim turned over for a runner-runner flush. Awesome.

We only have limited information but apparently a small verbal scuffle has just erupted between Greg Mueller and an unknown player who was slapped with a penalty as a result.
We believe Mueller's opponent was not overly impressed with Mueller's play and commented as such which led to a heated exchange.
Mueller called the floor and his opponent was given a one hand penalty. After displaying his displeasure at the penalty and persisting with the insults, the penalty was extended to one orbit as the player has now gone for a walk to cool off.
