Behind him, Todd Rodenborn made the call, then play folded over to Steven Piper in the cutoff seat. Piper reraised to 3,700. On the button was David Hertzog, and he moved all in for 18,025. Adrulis quickly folded, and then it was up to Rodenborn.
"Can I get a count?" he asked the dealer.
The dealer counted out Hertzog's shove, informed Rodenborn of the amount, and then Rodenborn announced that he was all in. He was all in for 21,950.
"Well, there's only one hand that beats me," announced Piper as he slid his chips forward and stood from his chair at the same time. He had the

Hertzog, the shortest player of the three, tabled the , which caused the table to erupt in a series of "ooohhss" and "aaahhss."
"Ace me! Ace me! yelled Rodenborn. "Let's just end it!"
Queen! Queen!" cheered Hertzog.

Anthony Utnage raised it up to 1,100 from the cutoff, and Gerard Pique, who is known for his aggression on the soccer pitch, reraised to 2,700. It was back to Utnage, and he spent a couple minutes in the tank. At one point, he grabbed the chips for the call, then changed his mind and dropped them back in his stack. All the while, Pique was staring off into the distance, trying not to give anything away. Eventually, Utnage grabbed all his big chips, and dropped them in a middle, a bet that would put the soccer star all in.
Pique let out a big sigh when he saw the bet, and he rechecked his hole cards, then thought in silence for about a minute before shaking his head and kicking them in. A fellow table mate said "Gerard I'm gonna put your mind at ease I think you made a good fold." Pique let out a brief smile, then went to count his chips, which are now at 11,750.
