Dan Madeiros was the player that we wrote about a short while ago in "Josephy Can't Seal the Deal". We didn't know his name back then, but we know it now as he's just found another lucky river card.
Hold'em:
Chris Bell was pretty short on chips, and he got them all in with 
on a 
flop. There were two overcards out there, but he was safe against the 
of Madeiros.
As we mentioned, though, Madeiros is on some kind of heater. The turn brought the 
and the river the 
, and the board counterfeited Bell's pair. Madeiros won the pot with his kicker, and Bell shoved his cards at the muck before he stood up and blew off some steam on his way to the payout desk.

Omaha Hi/Lo:
The details escape us, but we did just see Zimnan Ziyard take a huge pot off Steve Brown. With a board reading 
, Brown face either a bet or raise from Ziyard, which constituted a big portion of his remaining satck.
"Flush?" Brown said aloud. He thought for a few moments and then made the call only to discover his suspicions were true as Ziyard rolled over 
for the king-high flush.
"Why couldn't you pair the board?" Brown asked the dealer before showing 
.

Omaha Hi/Lo:
We joined three-way action just as all three men were putting chips into the pot on the flop. It showed 
, and we found Allen Cunningham, Nick Kost, and Rep Porter mixing it up. We're not sure who did the betting on the flop, but it was definitely Porter on the turn. His big bet folded Cunningham, but Kost check-called to see the last card.
It was the , and now Kost led out with his own bet. Porter called, and Kost fanned his cards silently: 
"Ace-three with the nut hearts?" Porter read his hand for him. It was good for the scoop, and Kost has moved back into contention for the chip lead.

Omaha Hi/Lo:
We didn't catch the betting, but we do know that Jason Schwartz was all in on a flop of 
holding 
for top pair and an open-ended straight draw. Zimnan Ziyard was his opponent, and he happened to be ahead with 
for top pair with top kicked.
"Come on," Schwartz said under his breath, trying to will the cards. The 
was not to his liking, and while the gave him trips, it'd didn't solve his kicker issues. Schwartz was eliminated in 39th place and takes home $5,088 for his efforts.

Stud:
With a big pot already piled in the middle of the table, a short-stacked gentleman got his last 17,500 chips into the pot. When we walked up, his hand was already tabled, and it wasn't much to look at: 
/ (x).
Josephy showed 
when all his cards were out. His kings were in front, and his opponent was drawing dead to an ace or jack. The gentleman squeezed...
"Straight!" he almost yelled as he snapped over the !
Josephy let out a noise of disgust and almost fell out of his chair. The big pot was snatched from him on the river, and as it's stacked up we can see that there was at least 105,000 chips in it. Josephy will have to do without those chips, and he's got 52,000 left to work with.

Limit Hold'em:
Just before the level up, four players limped to see a flop of 
and the small blind led out for 4,000. The big blind and cutoff both folded, while a short-stacked David Chiu raised to 8,000, leaving himself a single yellow T1,000 chip behind. The small blind put in the three-bet and Chiu called off.
"You got a jack?" Chiu asked. Sure enough, the small blind did.

"Short stacked," Chiu explained as the appeared on the turn. In order to survive he needed either a king or six on the river, and wouldn't you know it, the spiked.
"Skills," Chiu said with a smile as he was pushed the pot.

David Williams completed with a

) and a short-stacked player () joined him. Phan would check-fold on fourth.
Williams drew and on the next two streets, and he bet it both times. Mr. Opponent called the bet on fourth with a , but he didn't like the 
on fifth.
"I just need two running cards..." he mumbled as he cut down the ~15,000 he had left in front of him. After a bit more anguish, he surrendered.
Williams has really been applying the pressure, and he's worked his stack up to 250,000 on the nose.
