Four Gone Already

Turn:
Bergen bets 10000, Kenny calls
River:
Bergen checks, Kenny bets 20,000. Bergen goes into the tank and folds.

The Ghost of Hellmuth
Incredibly, even without being present, Phil Hellmuth remains the topic of discussion, Harry retelling the set over set hand that forced the Poker Brat down to the felt.
"It's okay if it happens to everyone else, but not if it happens to him," jokes Harry. "He swore at the dealer too and didn't even receive a penalty."
Harry, who lost a bet in which he was forced to wear Martins Poker gear until he next wins a comp, is currently on just over 30,000 in chips.
Table Talk: Multi-Tabling Online
Daniel Negreanu: "I'm comfortable with three. I can play four at once, but I lose when I play that many. I just can't do it."
Howard Lederer: "I can multi table, but the hardest thing I ever did was playing two tables of Triple Draw at the same time. It was impossible.
Negreanu (point to Adam Junglen): "These kids today, they can play twenty at a time. When I was your age, I could only play one at a time."
Early Action
Elsewhere some dramatic double-ups are causing sighs of relief, or, in the case of uncharacteristically chatty Andreas Hagen, amusement. He got his last few chips in with against and gave a running commentary about how this was going to be "an exciting pot." The flop brought and it looked like he might be right.
"Jack on the turn, Five on the river," he predicted, receiving the as the turn card instead. "I'll take a Five for a chop..." he bargained with fate, and instead got a . Laughing he sat back down saying, "I told you this one would get on TV."

Subdued Atmosphere
Table Talk: "When I was your age..."
Daniel Negreanu: "Do you know how Ted Forrest used to live? True story. When he was grinding out 1-5 Stud in Las Vegas, he was so poor that he'd steal ketchup packets from McDonald's and eat it on white bread. You kids have it easy! Staying in nice hotels, being able to play poker online at any time. You kids have the good life."
Howard Lederer: "In my thirties, the biggest game in Las Vegas was 400/800 Limit Hold'em. It would run about three times a week."
Negreanu: "These days, there are 16-year olds playing three 400/800 tables at once! As Doyle said, back when he played in Texas, you were worried about getting cheated. Or getting robbed. Or getting shot. Or arrested by the police. Now you don't have to leave your house to play poker."
