board and they split the pot.
"I Love Vicki"
Robin Keston raised to 4,500 before Brandon Adams reraised to 12,000. Then the big blind, Jean Thorel, went to call the initial raise not seeing the reraise. It was pointed out to him pretty quickly, and he went to take his chips back. The floor was called to see if this was allowed and confusion seemed to arise as to whether he'd actually released the chips from his hand before retracting them.
The TD asked every player one by one if they thought he had released them. When it was Vicki Coren's turn to offer an opinion she said, "He's French and doesn't understand a word of English. If you want to take the 4,000 chips out of his stack it will take several minutes to explain why your doing it. Why don't we leave it as it is?"
This caused everybody at the table to erupt in laughter and all agreed this should be the correct ruling.
Keston passed his hand and Adams showed
to further lighten the mood.Phil Laak also wants it reported that he, "Loves Vicki Coren."
Sorry Jennifer, I'm sure it's just a platonic thing!

One Good Bluff Deserves Another?
. Gunball led out for 3,600, Fischman raised to 9,100, and Mongomery reraised to 28,000 straight. Gunball folded and Fischman went into a long tank, arranging and re-arranging his chips like a patient off his OCD meds. "I have a flush draw... what do you have? One pair? Will you fold if I show?" asked Fischman, trying to elicit some sort of a reaction from Montgomery.
Ultimately, Fischman passed and the November Niner collected a nice pot...without showing his cards.
Farnood Eliminated
flop to Ivan Demidov, who bet. Farnood went all in for another 40,300, and with relatively little dwelling, Demidov called.Farnood:

The Milky Bar Has Melted
"How much is that?" queried Daniel Negreanu from the small blind.
"Ahh, I got these a second ago. I might as well play," continued Negreanu as he called.
"Oh my god, that's a real needle!" commented Mike Matusow at Negreanu's comments aimed at Grundy.
Then in a twist the big blind moved all in for another 25,500. The moved really shocked Negreanu, and he ultimately made the fold after a lot of math and situation deliberation.
Grundy tabled

.The board ran
to eliminate Grundy.
The Milky Bar is Melting
The first hand saw Daniel Negreanu raise from UTG and Grundy make a call from the big blind before the dealer gave us a
flop. Both players checked, so the turn came
. Grundy led out this time for 5,000 and Negreanu made the call. The river came prompting Grundy to check and face a 12,500 from Negreanu.Mike Matusow stood up at this point to chat to me about another matter but I asked him what he puts Negreanu on. "Daniel's got a ten," he told me.
Grundy didn't seem to think so and called. Negreanu turned over
for the rivered straight. Then started a few minutes of slightly edgy dialogue between the two, Grundy the slightly more angry at his "Lucky" opponent.TBC...
Juanda vs. Judah
. Judah checked, Juanda bet 4,500 and Judah called. Both players checked the 
turn and did the same when the fell on the river. Judah, perhaps wanting action on the river from Juanda with that check, turned up
and raked in the pot.
