Stud 8:
| Daniel Negreanu |  /     / |
| Luke Schwartz | /    (FOLDED) |
| Ben Yu | /     / |
We caught up with the action on fourth street, where all three players checked. On fifth, the action checked to Negreanu, who bet, and only Yu called. On sixth, and seventh, both players checked.
Yu turned over 
for ace-high and no low, and Negreanu started laughing.
"I had a straight flush draw," he said aloud. "And ace-high wins."
"Just bad luck," Yu responded, grinning.
The break is over, and the cards are back in the air.

Normally, we tend to deem one table in an event as the "Table of Death," but we've just been told by Barry Levy that there's a better way to say it.
First off, this event is stacked and every table is packed with notable faces, including the one right in front of us that Levy is seated at. Here's how it looks:
| Seat | Player |
|---|---|
| 1 | David "ODB" Baker |
| 2 | David Benyamine |
| 3 | Barry Levy |
| 4 | David "Bakes" Baker |
| 5 | Ralph Perry |
| 6 | Allen Kessler |
| 7 | Roland Israelvishi |
| 8 | Freddy Deeb |
Levy, who is also known as "The Pirate," came over and told us, "When you die and go to hell, this is the game and these are the players."
Stud 8:
| David Baker | /    / |
| David Benyamine | /   / |
| Roland Israelvishi | /     / |
We reached Table 353 on fourth street, where the action was capped. On fifth street, Israelvishi led out, both Baker and Benyamine called. On sixth street, Israelvishi led out again, and both players came along.
On seventh, Israelvishi slowed down, checking. Baker and Benyamine checked behind. Israelvishi tabled 
for a pair of aces and an eighty-six low, and Baker showed 
for two pair. Benyamine mucked, and Baker and Israelvishi chopped the pot.
Sitting to the right of Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu is Mori Eskandani, the president of Poker PROductions. Eskandani's body of work includes Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship, and, of course, the World Series of Poker on ESPN.

If you follow Jason Mercier and/or Matt Glantz on Twitter, than you've probably seen them use the hashtag #justbadluck or #JBL - it's basically the newer, cooler version of #whenwillitend.
Well, Mercier and Glantz took the hashtag to a new level, and made matching aqua t-shirts with "Just Bad Luck!" printed on them. They're both sporting them here in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship event, which is cute to say the least.
