Don't Angle Against Engel
Level 7
: 200/400, 0 ante
Ari Engel opened the action with a raise to 900 from the hijack. The big blind defended and the 
flop was seen heads up. The player out of position check-called a bet of 900 from Engel. The turn was the 
and once again the opponent check-called the bet of 2,200.
The river was the and both players checked. However, neither seemed in a hurry to flip over their cards. The player in the blinds held his hand over the muck waiting for Engel to show. But Engel knew that he was not supposed to show first and made the player flip over his hand. Eventually, the opponent tabled 
with two spades for Queen-high. Engel then tabled 
, also with two spades, for Tens and Fours.
With that pot, Engel has chipped up to 47,000.

Chiu: 
Opponent: 
But before the turn was even dealt, Chiu got up from his seat and scurried away. The turn fell 
and the river 
, giving Chiu a full house. His opponent was eliminated but his executioner was seemingly nowhere to be found. As the chips were pushed the way of Chiu's stack, he came running back and said "I wanted to play my button so bad!", referring to his table in the 8-game event that is happening on the other side of the black section in the pavilion.
Chiu is currently sitting healthy with 33,000.
