Jason McPherson made it two bets from early position, Don Nguyen called out of the big blind, and both players drew two cards. Nguyen tossed out a bet, McPherson called, and Nguyen discarded one. McPherson tossed in two cards, and called another bet.
Nguyen remained pat on the final draw, McPherson asked for one card, and Nguyen immediately bet.
"Really?" McPherson asked, surprised that Nguyen would bet so quickly. "You have a deuce?"
"No," Nguyen responded.
The dealer momentarily forgot to give McPherson his final card, then forgot to burn a card. She finally pulled back the card she pushed forward, tossed the correct card to McPherson, and he folded.
"I didn't have a deuce," Nguyen confirmed for a second time. "Just a hand to bet with."

Joe Serock was just seen getting up from his table and exiting the Orange Section of the Amazon Room. When we reached his table we saw that he had a jack-low in front of him and it appeared as if John Racener, his opponent, had an eight-low.
Meanwhile, across the room, Jonathan Tamayo was bounced with unknown action.

Barry Greenstein and Phil Ivey have been seated at the same table for the better part of three hours or so, and every time you walk by their table both players are either grinning or laughing. The two old friends are swapping stories, engaging with other players at the table, and after busting from the tournament, Abe Mosseri pulled a chair next to Ivey and he's now in on the conversation while he battles with Ivey in a game of open-face Chinese poker.
There's also a bit of poker being played amidst all the chumming, and Greenstein was just heads up with a player on his direct left. The player drew two, Greenstein drew one, and the player check-called a bet.
Both players took one card on the second draw, Greenstein's opponent bet out, and the Robin Hood of Poker called.
The player stood pat on the final draw, Greenstein took one card, and the player check-called a bet. Greenstein fanned , and dragged the pot.
