We only walked up as the cards were being tabled, but we saw that Greg Raymer got the rest of his stack in preflop holding 
. Unfortunately for him, he was up against one of the two hands he didn't want to see: 
. Raymer was never able to catch up, as the board ran down 
, and the 2004 Main Event Champion is one of the first players to leave us today.

Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
We came to the action with the 
flop on the board and 1,450 in front of Randy Lew in middle position. The player from the small blind moved all in and Lew made the call with less.
Even though he was ahead with 
, you could see he wasn't thrilled to be calling with a flush draw on the board. He seemed somewhat relieved when his opponent turned over . The turn
came and the flush possibility was gone and the 
river gave him quads, even though he didn't need it.

Level 2

We walked up to Olivier Busquet's table to see him in the middle of a three way pot on a flop of 
. It was checked to Busquet, who fired out 200. Only one player called, and the turn brought the 
, putting four clubs out there. His opponent checked again, and this time, Busquet fired out 400. His opponent grabbed the calling chips, and after 30 seconds of thought, stuck them in. This prompted Busquet to immediately fold his hand, which caused laughter by some at the table, and confusion by others.
The dealer confirmed with Busquet that he knew he was called, and Busquet said while laughing "Thank you for double checking I appreciate it I just didn't want to bother continuing in the hand." After that, the whole table started laughing, as the pot was handed over to his opponent. Despite giving up on that hand, Busquet is doing fine for himself so far, up to 5,525 from his starting stack of 4,500.
