"Let it go. We didn't go past fifth," Johnson replied.

"Don't you know Little Shit? He's going to be talking about this hand five years from now," Greg Mueller yelled out from another table.

Billirakis then bet, and Hansen called. Billirakis remained pat, while Weinman and Hansen each drew two cards. After another bet and call, Billirakis still took no cards, while Weinman still wanted two.

Hansen had improved and took one fresh card, and he bet after Billirakis checked. Billirakis quickly called, but he could not beat Hansen's 8x5x4x3x2x and mucked.

Weinman, meanwhile, tabled KxJx6x3x2x as he went to the exit.
