Yevgeniy Timoshenko opened in early position for 150, a player called on his left, the player on the button raised to 550 and the big blind called. Action was back on Timoshenko and he moved all in. The first caller folded, the button called and the big blind folded.
Timoshenko: 
Button: 
The board ran 
and Timoshenko grabbed his bag, threw it over his shoulder and stood up to leave. Then the dealer peeled off the 
river card and Timoshenko laughed, "That's the first time I've done that."

The flop brought a 
and both players checked.
Both players checked again on the 
turn, however, Makhija would check no more after a 
landed on the river. Instead, he fired out 500 and Williamson quickly called. Makhija tabled 
for a rivered two-pair and Williamson mucked.

We found Antonio Esfandiari on the river pushing out a bet of 2,500. The board showed 
and his opponent tanked. A couple minutes passed by as his opponent counted out calling chips, counted what he would have behind and then counting his whole stack all over again. He would occasionally look at Esfandiari but Esfandiari kept his gaze straight down as he received a massage.
The unknown player finally tossed in a call after mumbling "I'm giving you a lot of credit." He tabled 
and Esfandiari tabled for a chopped pot.
Action began on Justin "Boosted J" Smith, who opened for 225 from the cutoff. His opponent directly behind him on the button called, as did the big blind.
The flop came 
and the player in the big blind checked, prompting a 250 bet from Smith. His opponent on the button called, but the big blind player folded.
Smith fired 725 into the middle when a fell on the turn. His opponent gave up his hand and Smith scooped up the pot.
Smith, who has over $2 million in lifetime tournament winnings, is up to 6,000.
