No-Limit Hold'em
Greg Mueller went all in for his last 23,600 on the small blind, and started a bit of speech play on Tamon Nakamura in the big blind.
"It's not worth it, you can fold this one," Mueller said. Nakamura laughed, told Mueller he had an ace, but then folded. He showed Nakamura one card and said that card was his kicker as he brought in the pot.
"You should be ashamed of yourself," joked Frank Kassela.

John Monnette got his last 43,200 in preflop with 
in the cutoff but was dominated by the 
held by Mike Watson. The 
board brought two of Monnette's outs though, so he collected a double.
Despite the setback "SirWatts" has had a very fruitful run of late and finds himself in contention for the chip lead.

Badacey
Big blind Mike Ross check-called a bet after the second pull and needed a card. Robert Campbell was pat on the button and Ross checked the end. Campbell bet and Ross thought about 30 seconds and slid in a call.
"Praying for half," he declared.
Campbell wouldn't be giving it up as his 
— a nine-nine — was good. Ross showed 
along with an unhelpful 
.
At the neighboring table, David "ODB" Baker busted.

All three draws were complete and a big pot was brewing between Mike Watson and Scott Horowitz.
Horowitz put out a bet in the final betting round, and Watson responded by going all-in, sending Horowitz deep into the tank.
"What are the chances?" Horowitz said, spending several minutes on the decision. He apologized to the table for tanking, and after more than five minutes finally let his hand go.

Omaha Hi-Lo
In a pot that saw a preflop three-bet by Peter Kelly and two calls, the board read 
. Kelly checked in the small blind, big blind Jack Rice bet and Tim Frazin jammed his last 4,100 in. Kelly woke up with a raise and Rice called. The river was a

"That was a terrible check by me," Kelly said, showing

2-7 Single Draw
After the draw, Samuel Gorr shoved into two players. It was just over 9,000 into a pot of about 15,000. The first player snap-mucked but John Monnette needed longer. Gorr held out his cards as if he was ready and excited to flip them over. Monnette thought better of it and released.

Big O
A player opened for 6,000 in the cutoff and Nikolai Yakovenko potted to 21,000 on his left. The opener tanked awhile and called the shove for about 10,000 on the 
flop.
Yakovenko was in there with a snap-call for all but his last 3,000, holding 
for trips. He was fading diamonds as his opponent showed 
. The turn was a and the river a 
, so Yakovenko scored the knockout.
Yakovenko was down to his last 4,000 and peeling his last card behind in a draw hand a little before dinner, and has now got a very playable stack.
