If you've watched the 2004 World Series of Poker episodes on ESPN than you'll sure remember Mattias Andersson. He was the one guy screaming his lungs out after every all in he won. Don't remember? Check this video to refresh your mind:
(the hand starts about 6:20 in)
Anyway, Andersson is playing today and he's up to about 11,000 in chips. He just won a pot where he bit 1,150 on 
| 
| 
. His opponent check-folded and Anderson quietly raked in the chips. Quietly yeah, no screaming yet.

The player under the gun raised it up to 450, and from the big blind Barny Boatman called all in for 275 total. Boatman had called blind with

We missed the precise pre flop action but we did witness Xuan Liu just getting knocked out. She was involved in a big three way pre flop all in. From the button she had all her chips in het middle with 
while the small blind tabled 
. The big blind had

Besides the small and big blind the rest of the table seemed optimistic Liu would hit. She wouldn't. On the turn she had all the clubs as outs but the river would turn out to be a blank: |

. One of the blinds was short with 4,125 but the other had Liu covered so she exited the tournament area.
