Cohen: 
McClung: 
McClung was going to need a lot of help to stay alive and the flop brought just that when it came 
. The turn of the 
and the river of the 
couldn't help Cohen who shipped a decent part of his stack over to McClung.
"How does that happen?" lamented Cohen after the hand.

With the board reading 
Steven Davisson bet 25,000 only to have his opponent shove all in for a total of 105,000. Davisson went into the tank for quite awhile before eventually deciding to call.
Davisson: 
Opponent: 
While the all-in player had turned two pair, Davisson's two pair was better and the

Alex Findlay and a short stacked player got all their chips in preflop with Findlay's 
trailing the all-in player's 
. Trailing, that is, until the flop came giving Findlay a pair of aces and the lead. The turn and river brought the and and Findlay sent the other player to the rail.
After the hand Findlay had around 290,000 in his stack.
We found an extremely short-stacked Jaymes Rosenthal all in preflop with 
against an opponent's 
. The 
flop had Rosenthal in great shape as the other player would need runner-runner to eliminate him. Another player at the table called for a deuce on the turn and lo and behold, it came the which was the best card in the deck for the opponent as he was now open-ended and had eight outs to the straight. The river was a sweat as it looked like it could have been a six but it was a and Rosenthal made two pair to double up.

During play yesterday, Justin Cohen called us over to tell us about some hand involving five pocket pairs or something along those lines where he had . Whenever we passed his table after that point, he kept on bringing the hand up. Anyways, as we were just walking around before, Cohen asked us if we remembered him. At first, we didn't given that there were so many players in the field. But we certainly won't forget about him now since he has one of the biggest stacks in the room.
