Players on a 20 Minute Break
Hilarious Double-Up for Awada
board. Ramin Henke moved all in but was snap-called by Awada with 
. Rather than wait to see the river, Henke mucked his hand! We guess he was drawing dead and that no card would have helped him (certainly not the 
that fell).Awada's up to 108,000.
Fools Gould
. Gould check called a 6,000 bet before they both checked the 
turn and 
. Gould flashed 
causing his opponent to muck. Gould then revealed the and claimed the pot. He's on 135,000 right now.
Lacay Doubles
against an opponent's 
. Since we've stricken the phrase "classic flip" from our bag of poker writer tricks, we'll say instead that both players had roughly the same chance to win the hand. It was Lacay who came out on top. He flopped a set,
and put the hand away on the turn with a repeater 
. He's now up to about 90,000 in chips.
Aiyah!
, Smith bet 7,000 after the big blind checked. His other opponent, the player in the cutoff seat, raised to 26,800, folding the big blind. Once Smith got a count on the raise, he moved all in. His opponent snap-called to a showdown.Smith:
Opponent:
"Pair the board please," Smith's opponent asked the dealer. He didn't get his wish on the
turn, but he did with the 
river. Smith's stack has been cut in half.
Maximum Value for Minaya
. He opened for 4,200 from middle position and must have been pleased to see the big blind, Kyle Zartman, re-raise to 14,500. When action passed back to Minaya, he shipped his whole stack into the middle. Zartman had about 40,000 behind his initial raise and tanked for a minute before calling all in with
. A jack-high board ensured his exit from the tournament. Minaya, meanwhile, is up to 190,000.
Awada Moving the Right Way
board. Joe Awada is on the button and calls a 3,700 bet from the BB before the river comes . This time the BB bets out for 7,700 and a after a short tank Awada calls and shows 
prompting the BB to fold.Awada on 65,000 now.
No Luck Yet for Chen
. The small blind followed up his pre-flop raise with a bet of 6,800 on the flop. Chen called.Chen carefully studied his opponent as the turn fell
. After twenty seconds, that player made a bet of approximately 15,000. Before the dealer could even count down the bet, Chen folded."I believed you the second time," said Chen. He's currently sitting behind 37,000 in chips.
