2012 World Series of Poker
With around 40,000 in the pot in a blind-versus-blind contest, the small blind moved all in on a board reading 


. Seneca Easley was in the big blind and snap-called off his stack of 40,500, rolling over the but 
.
The small blind sheepishly revealed 
and was drawing dead. After the meaningless
was put out on the river, Easley was pushed the pot, making a double look easy!

We're not quite sure how it happened, but we just discovered Vitaly Meshcheriakov sitting on a massive stack of 448,000! We're guessing it had something to do with Lisa Hamilton as her once healthy stack was reduced to 57,500.
Meanwhile, we also checked in on Justin Zaki over at Table 440. He is holding strong with 188,000.

Action folded around to recent bracelet-winner Vincent Van Der Fluit on the button and he brought it in with a raise to 6,000. Faraz Jaka defended from the big blind and it was heads-up action to the 

flop.
From there, Jaka check-called a bet of 7,500 before leading out for 18,000 on the
turn. Van Der Fluit made the call and then moved all in for 59,500 after Jaka checked the
river. The latter tanked for a bit and then released his hand.

, Marc Etienne Blais checked to Ryan Teves, who fired out a bet of 10,500. Blais snap-called and then checked the
river. Teves checked behind and showed 
, which prompted Blais to muck.
"I didn't know what you were up to," Teves admitted. "You called so fast."
