A short-stacked Keith Lehr moved all in from middle position for 140,000 only to have Brian Hastings isolate with an all-in three-bet. The rest of the players folded and the cards were turned up.
Lehr: 
Hastings: 
Hastings was ahead but Lehr was drawing to two live cards. The 
flop actually hit one of those cards and gave Lehr the lead with a pair of eights. The 
turn was no help to Hastings, and all Lehr needed to do was dodge an ace and queen on the river to stay alive. That was easier said than done though as the dealer burned and put out the

Action folded to Bill Perkins in the small blind and he raised to 40,000. Gus Hansen took his time before calling from the big and then watched Perkins fire out 35,000 on the 
flop. Hansen responded with a raise to 135,000 and Perkins wasted little time in announcing that he was all in.
"I guess I wasn't putting that much in and not calling," Hansen said before haphazardly dropping in his entire stack of 244,000.
Hansen: 
Perkins: 
"That's a good turn card for me," Hansen said nonchalantly when the 
peeled off to give him the straight and guaranteed double. Perkins didn't seem too thrilled and it only rubbed salt in the wound when the 
river gave him trips.
