Both players checked the turn K♦ to the river K♥, where Le bet and Deeb raised, earning a call from Le.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Seven-time bracelet winner Benny Glaser and longtime WSOP commentator Norman Chad were heads up on a flop of 3♠2♦Q♦.

"Would you please instruct the gentleman in seat seven not to speak to me during the hand?" Chad asked the dealer in jest when Glaser told him it was his turn to act.

Chad then checked, Glaser bet, and Chad called.

"He's eating an apple," Chad accurately noted as Glaser was indeed consuming a piece of said fruit when the 8♠ turn was dealt. Chad check-called Glaser's bet again before he led out on the 10♠ river.

"Good bet, Norm!" Owais Ahmed shouted from across the table.

"Is he still eating the apple?" Chad asked no one in particular as Glaser thought things through.

Eventually, the Player of the Year leader let his hand go, granting the pot to Chad and eliciting loud cheers from Ahmed.
