Dwan had raised a bet of 150 to 300 on fourth street and both players came along for the ride. The players all checked fifth and sixth streets, but the action heated up after the players received their last down card. The action checked to Dwan and he fired 150 into the middle. Opponent # 1 decided to check-raise, making it 300 to go and Opponent # 2 made the call.
With four cards to a straight showing, Dwan three-bet to 450 and both opponent's called. Opponent # 2, who declined to give us his name, flipped up his for a winning full house. Apparently accustomed to shipping "durrrr" piles of chips, the dealer slid the pot towards Dwan, who graciously pointed out that his straight had been beaten.
Jean-Robert Bellande, Scott Clements and a third player went to the flop of after the action was capped preflop. Bellande was acting from the big blind, Clements in middle position and the third player on the button. On the flop, Bellande was first and checked.

Ylon Schwartz was short to start the hand and all in on sixth street. When the hands were opened on the end, Schwartz tabled to make a seven-six low and beat his opponent's for a nine-eight low.
Former WSOP bracelet winner "Minneapolis" Jim Meehan was spotted engaging in quite a colorful conversation with fellow players and a floorman. Apparently, Meehan wanted to know whether "cold cocking another guy at the table" would mean sitting out a round, or would result merely in a one hand penalty. The question pertained to a previous tournament and Meehan's tablemates today were obviously enjoying the banter.
As far as the action on the felt is concerned, Meehan is holding his own there as well. We watched as Minneapolis Jim bet on every round during a hand of Omaha-8 with the board reading . Meehan forced his opponents to fold by the river, but tabled for a rivered straight to take the pot uncontested.
