John Juanda has taken an early hit after being bluffed off a pot on the river. The board read {K-Hearts}

Juanda gave it up and his opponent flashed {10-Hearts}

for the air ball! Juanda slips to 34,000.

A Hairy Situation

Shamus

Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul is here, sporting an 87,000-chip stack and an interesting hair style. Sort of a rooster comb effect, with the hair sticking straight up down the middle.

"If that's what it takes, I'm getting your hairdo next year," said T.J. Cloutier as he passed through the tables. Cloutier could be referring to Saul's good Main Event start, or perhaps to his having a seat at all. As we know, Cloutier was one of several who was unable to get a seat at this year's Main Event after Day 1d sold out.

"Good luck, fellas," added the six-time WSOP bracelet winner as he moved along.

Do You Know What You're Doing?

[user80015]

Catching the action on the flop of {A-Clubs}

Eric Hock checked to Fabio Pilato, who fired 2,500 at the pot.

Hock then put in a reraise to 7,000 with Pilato quickly making the call.

"I'm all in!" stated Hock before the dealer had even dragged the chips, let alone burn and turn.

The turn would be dealt, and the dealer would drop the {7-Clubs}

with Pilato calling for is tournament life.

"You hit the flush didn't you?" asked Hock as he tabled his {A-Hearts}

.

Pilato would shake his head left and right before turning over his {7-Hearts}

for a turned set.

"Are you kidding me! What . . . you don't think I have a hand when I check-raise you on the flop?" fumed Hock.

The river dropped the insignificant {K-Spades}

to see Pilato double up as Hock continued to rant on.

"Do you even know what you're doing buddy?" asked Hock once again.

"I don't know if you know what you're doing, but I know what I'm doing" muttered Pilato in broken english, as he dragged the pot.
