David Oppenheim's tobacco-fetcher returned with a tin of Skoal, but it wasn't the exact kind he wanted.
"Oh, no" he said while approaching the rail. "No..."
The man extended the tin, and Oppenheim took it from him.
"You did OK," Oppenheim offered.
The man got paid, and scurried off with his girlfriend.

We've come to the end of another 100-minute level, and players are now taking the last 15-minute break of the night.
Razz
Okay, razz fans. Five-way action here, details below. Cliffs? Jeffrey Lisandro quintuples up! (No shinola.)
The hand involved Lisandro, Shaun Deeb, Jason Lester, Steve Billirakis, and David "ODB" Baker. The action particularly heated up on fourth street, when Deeb bet, Lisandro raised, Lester and Billirakis called the two bets, Baker made it three, Deeb made it four, Lisandro called with his remaining chips, and the other three all called.
Got that?
On fifth Deeb bet again, and Lester, Billirakis, and Baker all called. On sixth Deeb kept at it, and only Baker decided to stick around. Deeb and Baker then both checked seventh. The hands…
Deeb (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Lisandro (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Lester (X)(X) / 
- FOLDED
Billirakis (X)(X) / 
- FOLDED
Baker (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Deeb showed 
for a 9-8, Lisandro for a 7-5, and Baker mucked. "Yes! Yes!" said the normally reserved Lisandro, noting that nifty return on his investment for the hand. He took the big main pot, and suddenly sits with about 305,000. Deeb, meanwhile, took the side pot, and has about 900,000 as we approach the last break of the night.
No-Limit Hold'em
Raymond Dehkharghani opened to 18,000 from under the gun, Brian Rast called in the big blind, and the flop fell 
. Rast checked, Dehkharghani fired 36,000, Rast raised to 113,000, and Dehkharghani moved all in. Rast snapped it off.
Dehkharghani: 
Rast:
The on the turn left the door open for Dehkharghani. Any jack would give him a winning straight, but the 
bricked on the river, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

"Who wants to make a quick forty bucks!" David Oppenheim shouted at the rail.
Only Scott Seiver responded.
"You want to go to the gas station?" Oppenheim chuckled.
"Oh," Seiver responded, realizing he can't just leave his stack. "No."
"Come on," Oppenheim sighed. "Anybody?"
Eventually a gentleman offered his services. Oppenheim instructed him to go to the nearest gas station and pick up a tin of Skoal Straight Long Cut.
"I don't have a car though," the man told Oppenheim.
"I'll do it for twenty!" another railbird interjected.
Oppenheim ignored him. "Take a cab!" he told his helper. "I'll pay for it."
The man nodded, took the money, and then exited the Amazon Room. We'll update you on whether or not his quest was a success upon his return.
