Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Joey Weissman raised to 60,000 from early position, with Alen Bakovic calling in the hijack and Loai Elayday coming along from the blinds.

After two checks on the 8♠3♥6♦ flop, Bakovic fired 135,000, which only Elayday called.

Both players checked the 7♠ turn and 10♣ river. Elayday tabled 7♦5♠ for a pair of sevens to win the pot.

As the hand was playing out, Will Givens returned to the table singing and breaking into a little jig. After taking his seat, he looked at the dealer, stunned and said, "You look like that famous chemist!"

After a brief pause, a tablemate corrected Givens, "You mean Albert Einstein, the famous physicist."
