flop when Matthew Dames and his opponent got their stacks in and Dames was at risk. He held 
for the top set and flush draw while his opponent had 
for the open ended straight draw and lower flush draw.
Both the 
turn and the 
river provided no change for either player and Dames doubled up.

Devon Shalmi defended his big blind against the raise from the player on the button and then saw the 
flop. He moved all in and the opponent with even less called.
Opponent: 
Shalmi: 
The 
turn changed nothing, but the river gave Shalmi the flush, who yelled, "Player down!" He then and threw the words "don't call me a moron" to his opponent that had just busted.
Apparently he was told by the opponent "how to get beat by a moron" just after the final community card. The floorman came over and Shalmi received a warning. "No problem, I take the warning," he said before stacking the chips.

Again he did the same after three-betting a preflop raise to 30,000. The original raiser called and then folded when Miller announced all in after the

We get to the table with approximately 50,000 already in the pot on a flop of 
and Galen Hall placed a bet of 36,000 in front of him. Fabrice Soulier, in an almost inaudible whisper to the dealer, said, "I bet the pot." Hall instantly moved all in and Soulier, committed, made the call. The hands were turned over and Hall was in the lead:
