Wilson Wins Despite His Own and Dealer Errors

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A strange hand took place where David Towson opened from the cutoff for 400 and Alex Wilson threw out a 1,000 chip on the button and said raise after it landed, so it stood as a call. The table was very friendly about the situation, explaining it had to be a call. The small blind and big blind of Reda Bouaboula called.

Strangely, the dealer then dealt a flop of {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and before anyone could act, she then put the {10-Clubs} down for a turn. Everyone looks around confused and she called the floor over, who ruled that action would continue from the flop, and the {10-Clubs} would not be in play.

Wilson then bet 1,000 when checked to, and the blinds folded before David Towson jokingly said ''Well since the 10 isn't coming I guess I fold!'', as he mucked showing the {10-Spades}. He and his tablemates saw light of the situation, as Wilson took the small pot.

Walsh Makes The Call On Scary Board

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Garcia Gets There to Eliminate Opponent

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was three-ways to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and action checked to the button who bet 5,500. Cord Garcia called in the big blind before under the gun raised to 15,500. The button folded before Garcia slammed 80,000 in the middle putting his opponent all in.

His opponent made the call. The WSOP bracelet winner shouted out "Eight-High" as he tabled his hand.

Under the gun: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Cord Garcia: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Garcia only had a flush draw while his opponent had top pair. The turn came the {10-Diamonds} which left his opponent drawing dead as Garcia had hit his flush. The {10-Clubs} river was irrelevant.
