2012 World Series of Poker
A player raised to 125 from middle position and received a call from Marcel Luske in the cutoff. The button and big blind also came along for the ride, making it four-way action to the 

flop.
Three checks put action on the button and he announced, "Pot." One by one his opponents, including Luske, sent their cards to the muck. It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to tell you that Luske has already used one of his rebuy chips and is down to 2,750.

Richard Cleveland raised to 150 and cleared the field all the way around to Erik Seidel in the big blind. He tossed in the call and then checked the 

flop. Cleveland put together some chips and bet 275, prompting Seidel to toss out two T500 chips, which constituted a raise to 1,000. Cleveland took a look back at his cards and then tossed them to the muck.
Despite winning that small pot, Seidel is below the start stack. He is currently sitting with just one rebuy chip, which means he's already used one here in the early levels.

Six players saw a flop of 

and Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin led out from the small blind for 300. Two players folded, Seat 4 made the call, and the two other players got out of the way.
When the
turned, Baldwin moved all in for 500, though he had two rebuy chips behind. For those who don't know, players start this tournament with 1,500 and two rebuy chips that can be used at any time. They're worth 1,500 apiece, which means each player has 4,500 at his or her disposal.
Anyway, in the hand, Seat 4 called and tabled 


, while Baldwin held 


. "I guess I need a six," Seat 4 said of his chances to scoop. The
river was not what he was looking for and it ended up being a chopped pot.
