We caught the end of a ginormous pot between Michael Ferrell and Anthony Guetti that saw Ferrell collect a mountain of chips. The board read , and Guetti had bet out 60,500. Action was on Ferrell, and he tanked for a couple minutes before moving all in. Both players had giant stacks, to this was a huge bet. Guetti let out a big sigh, then folded his cards towards the dealer.

Sorel Mizzi raised to 9,000 from the button. Both blinds called, including Matt Woodward in the small blind.

Ali Eslami was on the button and the player in the cutoff opened for 9,500. Eslami re-raised to 21,500 and his opponent went silent.
As the player in the cutoff was thinking a floor supervisor informed to other players to bag up their chips in preparation for a move to the Amazon Room.
The player in the cutoff folded and asked Eslami if he would show. "Come on, we're moving anyways," the opponent prodded.
Eslami thought for a moment, turned up and started to bag his chips.
A short while ago a player here in the Purple section won a big hand and responded with one of those action-stopping shouts that sometimes will occur. "THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" he cried, and a brief silence followed.
Robert Croak, the Silly Bandz creator and High Stakes Poker participant, decided to fill the silence with a question.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?"
Everyone laughed at Croak's shouted question. Alas for the businessman, we're now talking about his elimination from the 2012 WSOP Main Event, his last chips having been taken recently by Antonio Esfandiari. At least Croak left us smiling.
