Finally, Belluscio checked to Rivera on the K♥ river. Rivera shot out 250,000, which was enough to make Belluscio fold.
Imari Love raised to 60,000 from middle position and the action folded to Shannon Peace in the small blind who pushed his last 120,000 in. David Hengen called in the big blind for the 105,000 he had left. Love called both.
David Hengen: A♣5♠ 
Shannon Peace: A♠9♦

Marc Wolpert bet 475,000 from middle position for Quoc Le to raise to 1,275,000, from the hijack, which was about what Wolpert had in front of him in total. Wolpert went into the tank for a while. He counted out his chips and then opted to fold.
"Wanna see?" Le asked Wolpert.
"I wanna see," Wolpert responded.
A friend came over and Le said Wolpert didn't want to see the cards but Wolpert reacted that he did.
"Give me $100, and I'll show," Le quipped. Wolpert shook his head and the cards went into the muck.

Julio Belluscio and Shannon Peace had already built a pot of 500,000 on a board of 3♠3♦Q♣2♦K♦. After action was passed to him, Belluscio fired 225,000 sending Peace to the tank.
Peace took considerable time and apologized for the time he was taking. Finally, he mucked his hand. Belluscio was gracious enough to show him Q♦5♦ for a rivered flush. Peace mentioned that he had queen-ten but that Belluscio could have the pot this time.
A few hands after, this time with 160,000 in the pot beside a board of Q♠5♥4♥J♠, Belluscio fired 100,000 against his opponent in cutoff, Chad Layne. Layne called to see the last card.
The river 10♣ fell, and after Belluscio checked, Layne fired 400,000 into the pot, sending Belluscio to the tank. It was his time to concede both his hand and the pot to his opponent.
Quoc Le raised to 60,000 from the cutoff for Andres Korn to three-bet to 145,000 from the button. The blinds folded, and Le made the call.

"I'm part of the media, you can show me," another player at the table commented, but the cards were already in the muck.
