With the board reading 
and a sizeable pot growing, Allen Cunningham bet the river. Before his opponent tossed in the call, he said “watch me just call and win three quarters of the pot”. Cunningham turned over 
for the nut low but not much of a high. His opponent showed 
for the same low but the better high. Cunningham jokingly said “that was terrible just to call” and was down to 9,000 after the hand.

We caught Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier all in on a flop of 
and both ElkY and his opponent showed low cards. ElkY's 
was ahead of his opponent's 
. Both players were looking to pair one of their kickers when the turn came the 
pairing both. The river came the 
, and ElkY scooped the pot with his nine kicker to double up to around 3,200.
The players went four-way to the flop of a 
, it was checked to Pat Pezzin who bet 300, Scott Clements called, Bill Chen folded, as did a fourth player.
Clements then check-called a 400 chip bet on the 
turn from Pezzin before both players checked the river. Clements turned over 
for two pair and it was good enough to propel his stack over the 10,000 mark.
WPT Tournament Director Matt Savage waved us down to tell us about what may have been the biggest pot of the event so far at his table.
While we came over after it all went down, we did get the scoop from the victor, Curtis Rystadt.
"We were capped on most streets starting out with five way action, and in the end one player turned the nut flush and I was all in and rivered a full house to take it down." (There was no low hand)
After a quick count of his chips, the pot added up to about 15,000.
After that pot, Matt Savage was knocked down from 17,000 to 13,500 but is still near the top of the leaderboard.
There was just a bit of confusion over at Chris Bjorin’s table. As a pot was brewing on a 
flop, the floor was called over as nobody seemed to be sure as to how many bets were allowed to be made. In the end, it was five total bets or four raises which is exactly what happened. This resulted in a player all in and a side pot between Bjorin and the big blind.
On the 
turn, the big blind bet and Bjorin just called. The river was a and this time the big blind checked. Bjorin bet and was called.
The Hands:
All In Player: 
Bjorin:
Big Blind: 
All three players amazingly had the same nut low in addition to their different straights. The all in player won half of the main pot with the nuts. Bjorin won half of the side pot with his straight. As for the big blind, well he didn’t win the high part of either pot with his lower straight.
Bjorin had around 9,000 after the hand.
