When we reached the table, the flop had already fallen 
. An opponent moved all in against Jeff Norman, and Norman called having him covered.
Opponent: 
Norman: 
The 
on the turn was a blank, but the 
spiked on the river, giving Norman the nut-flush and the win. His opponent stormed off, while Norman is now up to 155,000 chips.
A player in hi-jack limped and Peter Jetten raised to 5,000 from cutoff. Action folded to Scott Shelley in the small blind, who cut out a three-bet to 14,500 and pushed it into the middle. The limper folded and Jetten made the call.
The flop came 
and Jetten checked, prompting a 13,500 bet from Shelley. Jetten thought briefly, but decided to give his hand up.
Jetten has slid to 102,000 while Shelley is sitting with 160,000.

Greg Mueller raised to 3,000 from early position and Jonas Entin was the only caller to a 
flop. Mueller fired out 3,100 and Entin casually called before the pair checked down the turn and river.
Mueller flipped 
but was a little annoyed that he had to split with his opponent, the latter showing 
.
When we got to the table Emil Patel was heads up with an all in player with 
, Patel's opponent held 
for a very favorable advantage preflop. The flop came 
and Patel had flopped a straight. Patel's opponent would need a queen in order to steal the pot back. He received no such luck as the turn came the and the river fell the

We just picked up the ever so notable Patrik Antonius (and his masseuse) in the tan section of the Amazon Room. We came in on a hand where on a board of 
and with about 15,000 in the pot, a player in the cutoff bet out for 3,500. Antonius made a big raise to 16,700, and after some thought, the player folded to him. Antonius began stacking his chips and the player asked him, "Did you have it? Did you have anything at all?" Antonius smirked a little bit and one of the players on the table called out, "Aww look he's trying so hard not to laugh but he can't." Antonius then gave a laugh and said to them, "I don't want to lie, but you're going to make me lie" which gave the table a good laugh. He is up to 260,000.

Joe Hachem has been moved over to Doug Lee's table, taking a seat just to the left of Lee.
The two were in conversation when a hand arose in which it folded around to Hachem on the button, and Hachem raised to 2,500. The small blind folded, and as the short-stacked player on the big blind tanked a photographer started taking pictures of Hachem. Lee cheekily held up two fingers for rabbit ears behind Hachem for a moment, getting a brief laugh from the others and a grin from the 2005 WSOP Main Event champ.
Finally the big blind pushed all in for about 30,000, and Hachem said "yeah, yeah, whatever" as he tossed his cards in.
On the next hand, Lee raised to 2,800 from the hijack seat and only Hachem called from the cutoff. The flop came 
, and when Lee continued with a bet Hachem folded his face up. Lee showed one card -- the -- and collected the small pot.
Lee has 136,000 now, while Hachem has 40,000.
