Omaha 8/b
Kirk Morrison put in two bets on the button, Eric Buchman defended his big blind, and the flop came down 
. Buchman led out, Morrison raised, and Buchman called. The turn was the 
the two got enough bets in to put Morrison all in, and the river was the 
.
We saw Morrison's hand (
), but Buchman's hand was mucked too fast for us to jot it down.

Razz
Jerrod Ankenman completed with a five showing, and Eric Buchman either called or raised with a three in the door. We walked up heading to fourth street a the two men were heads-up.
Ankenman: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Buchman: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Anekenman check-called on fourth street (which leads us to believe Buchman three-bet earlier), and Buchman led out with bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh. When Ankenman called the last bet, Buchman announced his nine, showing {9x6x2x} for the ninety-eight. It was good, and it pushes Buchman up to 47,000.

Earlier today, Italian Michele Limongi tweeted, "Domani per me un tavolino facile facile: Allen Kessler(VIN 3.000.000), Frank Kassela 2 bracc. e 3 milioni Fabrice Soulier anke lui non da meno."
Translation: Tomorrow I have a table of dummies: Allen Kessler, Frank Kasella (2 bracelets), and Fabrice Soulier .
Sarcasm is very hard to detect through text however, especially in a different language, so when Kessler found this tweet, he was very confused.
"Facile means easy," he said to Limongi.
"I was complimenting the players," Limongi responded in his thick Italian accent. "It is a saying. How did you find it anyway?"
"I searched my name," Kessler answered.
Limongi shrugged, "I hardly Tweet, and you can't say anything bad about players because they'll know, yeah?"
Tablemate Ylon Schwartz chuckled at the Italian's naivety.
"This is the table of death," Limongi added.
Limongi is right. Kassela busted earlier, but his seat was replaced by the aforementioned Schwartz, and they've since been joined by Vladimir Shchemelev and one of the chip leaders entering the day; Lamar Wilkinson.
Buona fortuna a tutti al tavolino.

A player in middle position opened to 1,700, and John Juanda reraised the pot to 6,250. His opponent called, and the two men took a 
flop. When it checked to Juanda, he sat still for just a moment.
"Well, I don't think I have a choice," he said quietly, grabbing his last 11,050 chips and sliding them forward. His opponent tanked and folded, and Juanda is trying to make a little comeback today. He's up to 24,300 now, and he's apparently decided to get comfortable and forget about registering for the 5:00 P.M. tourney for now.
