J.C. Tran opened the pot with a raise from middle position, and the action passed to Estelle Denis. She moved all in, and the table folded back around to Tran. Somwhere in the folding frenzy though, Denis' cards were pulled into the muck, leaving her all in with no cards.

"Floor!"

This was a matter for Tournament Director Steve Frezer, and he was at the table in no time. He listened carefully to the dealer and to Denis before making his decision. The rule is that the player is 100% responsibly for protecting their own cards, and Denis failed to do that. A long but civil argument ensued with Denis gesturing wildly, shaking her head, and glancing back and forth at her foe, the dealer.

By rights, Frezer probably could have taken her whole stack, but he showed a little mercy and only took enough chips out of her stack to cover the initial call. The remaining 110,000 of her chips were returned to a very upset Denis.

Flipping for Four Million

donpeters

The flop was {9-Clubs}

between Tom Lutz and Warren Zackey. After some ferocious betting and raising, the two players got all of the money in the middle. Lutz was the player at risk and all in for a whopping 1.85 million. To put that number into better perspective, it's over 150 big blinds.

Lutz held {A-Clubs}

for the nut flush draw and two overs to Zackey's {10-Diamonds}

.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds}

, leaving Lutz still hoping.

The river brought the {5-Spades}

, completely missing Lutz. Zackey's tens were able to hold and he moved up to a chip leading 3.95 million. Lutz was eliminated on the hand.
