Vitch called to the second draw, where the duo drew one card each. Brewer bet again, and Vitch called. Brewer stood pat on the final draw, while Vitch still requested one card.

Brewer quickly tossed in more betting chips, but Vitch's last card did not please him and he mucked to forfeit the pot.

Roy Thung raised to 40,000 under the gun and was called by Luke Schwartz in middle position and Phil Ivey on the button. Gus Hansen then moved all in for 331,000 in the small blind.

Thung tanked for several minutes as a swarm of cameras surrounded the table. He eventually called as action went back on Schwartz, who also took a few minutes to consider the decision. "Take your time," Hansen told him, and Schwartz ended up folding. Ivey also quickly got rid of his cards.

Both players stood pat, and Thung turned over 9x7x6x5x4x. Hansen flashed a 10x and tossed his cards into the muck before heading off to the rail.
