donpeters

Ken Centanni went all in preflop and Richard McCall and Barry Bounds made the call. There was a small side pot between the two active players. The flop came down {10-Clubs}

and both remaining players checked.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}

and Bounds checked. McCall said, "I have to bet." and fired out 60,000. Bounds made the call. Then, McCall tabled his hand, {3-Spades}

. The entire table saw this and people started questioning what he was doing. "I panicked." said McCall.

The tournament director saw this and looked at Bounds and said, "I bet you're not going to call the river bet." in a joking manner.

The river came the {6-Diamonds}

and Bounds just mucked his hand. The all-in player, Centanni, mucked as well and was eliminated in 18th place.

donpeters

Steven Schwartz raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and David Posey called from the big blind. The flop came down {9-Clubs}

and Posey checked. Schwartz fired 70,000 and then Posey moved all in for 123,000 total, 53,000 more. Schwartz went into the tank for about a minute and then began talking to himself.

"Why do I do this to myself?"

"Do you have a flush draw?"

"I don't like tournaments anymore."

"How can I throw this away with all that money out there?"

After a few minutes in the tank, Schwartz finally let his hand go.
