Cantu came out with the bring-in and a player with the showing completed before Stann called, as did Cantu before Mr. King checked with his

Cantu called each time, then Stann bet dark on seventh street and Cantu called dark, only to muck after Stann tabled 
to scoop the pot.

Omaha 8
Three players took to a flop that read ; Tom Schneider bet and a player in middle position folded, but another player in late position called before calling Schneider's opening bets on the turn of the 
and the river 
. Schneider rolled up 
and that was enough to take it down.
We also passed by Michael Mariakis' table - while we were asked to not report on the "embarrassing" Stud 8 hand he played, we can tell you that he is sharing space with Mike Sexton and that he has confirmation of David Steicke's elimination.
