Micah Raskin was recently eliminated and shared the details with us.
Four players saw a flop where Raskin had flopped a set of deuces. David "ODB" Baker, though, had flopped a set of sevens. The chips didn't get in until after the river when Raskin raised all in. Baker called with his superior set and scored the elimination.

When we arrived at Jackie Glazier's table, there was a 
flop already out on the felt and Glazier was in the small blind position against Orjan Skommo on the button. There was already a big pot building, with around 80,000 in the middle from preflop action.
On the flop, Glazier slid out a continuation-bet of 40,000. Skommo then raised it up an extra 60,000. Without too much hesitation, Glazier slid out a large stack of 5,000-denomination chips, making a bet of what looked like 120,000 - making it a min raise. We say "what looked like", because the stack was back in Glazier's hands extremely quick, as Skommo instantly folded to send the handy pot to Glazier.
Readers may remember that Glazier has already a successful summer, finishing in 2nd place in Event 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em. The Australian poker pro will surely be looking to see even more success here in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.

Eduardo Trulli opened for 20,000 from the cutoff seat and directly behind him, Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 52,000 on the button. Action folded back around to Trulli, who then four-bet to 100,000 even. Negreanu called and it was heads-up going to the flop.
Both players checked the 
flop.
"You got three queens bro?" Negreanu asked. "That's what it feels like."
The turn brought the 
and Trulli opted to fire a small 40,000 bet into the middle. Negreanu called.
