We only walked up to the table on the river action, but we saw that John Monnette and his opponent were heads up on a board that read 
. Both players had a slew of bets in front of them, and Monnette had just fired out a bet on the river when we got there. His opponent tanked for about 20 seconds before calling, and Monnette announced "quads" and tabled

We don't know the action, but we do know that an extremely short-stacked Matthew Kursar just doubled through "Detroit" Al Green. The former held the 
on an 
board while the latter had the

Todd Brunson raised it up in early position, and Men "the Master" Nguyen, was the lone caller. The flop brought all diamonds,

Brunson tabled 
for the nut high and second nut low, and Nguyen simply said "you're good", rechecked his hole cards a couple of times, then kicked his hand in. Brunson, who was down to as low about 30,000 earlier today, is back up to nearly 75,000.

"Payout," is something we've been hearing quite often as of late. Most recently it happened over at Table 443. By the time we made out way over, the dealer had already swiped Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri's losing hand. What we do know is that he was eliminated by Jon Ford, who held the 
on a 
board.
Meanwhile, over at Table 439, Scott Fischman met his demise. Unfortunately the dealer had already swiped all the cards by the time we made our way over.
