Fourth street was the {8-Clubs} and both players checked. The {3-Spades} rolled off on the river and Kornuth bet. Driscoll pushed out a raise and Kornuth shipped all in. Driscoll called but was behind the {A-Spades}{4-Spades} of Kornuth and was sent to the rail.

Ante: 200

A $10 Lime

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kyle Julius is seated in Seat 1 and near the rail. He's got a friend sweating him and they just ordered a fresh pair of beers. Julius took his lime and spotted a trash can some 20 feet away.

"Three-to-one on $10 if I make this?" Julius asked his buddy.

"Bet," he replied.

Julius let the lime sail and missed by a good five feet to the right. He jumped up, chased down the lime and said, "How about 2-1 from here? I'm going underhanded."

He sunk the shot, walked past his friend and said, "You owe me $10."
