Four players saw an 
flop. Men Nguyen led out and was called by Matthew Waxman and Guillaume Rivet before another player folded. On the 
turn, Nguyen bet again and was called by both players once more. Nguyen fired one last bullet on the 
river which was called by Waxman but got Rivet to fold. Nguyen instantly threw his hand into the muck without showing. Waxman let out a laugh and clapped as he showed 
for just two pair.

In about 4 hands, 2010 WSOPE Main Event Champion James Bord went from mis-reading his hand for a flush (and giving away half his stack), doubling up James Dempsey, and the very next hand busting through Dempsey.
We caught the whole hand where Bord doubled up Dempsey.
Dempsey got it all in preflop for 23,000 and Bord made the call.
Bord had 
and Dempsey had 
The flop came 
giving Dempsey trips and Bord a pair of tens to go with the sixes on the board. The turn came 
to give Bord a better two pair, but the 
on the river didn't improve Bord and he shipped the big pot to Dempsey.
He was left with 23,000 and Dempsey chipped up to 55,000. We didn't catch the next hand, but Bord busted through Dempsey who now is left with around 85,000.
At the very least, Bord can be happy that he donated his chips to his buddy and fellow Brit.

Erik Seidel check-called a 4,000 bet on a flop of 
against Michael Simon before both checked the turn. Seidel then fired out on the river 
for 8,000 and Simon called.
Seidel:

Simon:

Chop it up.
Francesco Barbaro looks to be the new chip leader with over 200,000. He just added even more to his stack betting 8,000 on the turn of a 
board against Guillaume Rivet before both checked the river. Barbaro turned over for nines and fives and Rivet could only muck. The French-Canadian former chip leader is down to about 63,000 now.
