"It's so sick. I've got a full house and I lose," Gary Kosakowski said as he faced a bet from Robert Mizrachi on seventh street. Kosakowski eventually called.

Ryynanen finished with 5♦3♠4♦6♠2♣10♠7♦ for a straight and low, while Knight had K♦4♣Q♦10♦J♦3♦2♥ for a flush. The dealer was about to push Knight the entire pot before the rest of the table pointed out that he and Ryynanen chopped up Holley's stack.

"Good luck, all in," a tablemate told Stewart heading to the 9♥J♥2♦ flop. Le picked up a straight draw, but Stewart's kings stayed in front on the A♣ turn and 2♣ river and he doubled up.
"I knew when you sat down with such a great beard you were going to run it up," a tablemate told Stewart as he stacked his new chips.
