"I could've uber-shoved the turn"
All players checked the flop so turn came giving us a board. Lodden led out for 5,500 before Bentham raised another 8,750. Nawab moved out of the way but Lodden called.
The river brought a check from Lodden but no such niceties from Bentham as he fired 16,500 into the pot. Lodden let out a little gasp of frustration and made the call with . It wasn't good enough to better Bentham's though.
Lodden was philisophical in defeat though as he said "I could've uber-shoved the turn".
Bentham now on 103,000, Lodden on 114,000.
More Chips for Moorman
On the turn, Moorman bet out 9,000 only for Lawson to make it 22,000. After a moment's silent, expressionless consideration, Moorman called. They both checked the river and Lawson flipped over -- but Moorman's had come good, not with the flush but with unexpected trips. "Oh come on!" exploded Lawson in a brief high-volume burst of anger. "Come ON!" Moorman quietly raked in his newly-acquired chips.

Matusow Hits the Water Hard While Elliot Takes Down a Big One
"I'm hoping," says Rouas eventually, "I'm hoping that you have ace-king of clubs. Ace-queen...It's such a monster I've got. Sick."
Pipes up Matusow, clearly keen to get the hand finished, "I think I need to go back to doing drugs. I'll start with this bottle of water."
Eventually, to the ever-so-slightly audible disappointment of the Wall of Media, Rouas folds, showing for what is indeed a very fine hand. He is rewarded for his fold by Elliot showing him .
Raptor Flies the Coop
In a three-way limped pot, the flop came down . Seidel led out from the big blind for 2,500 and only Benefield called. Both players checked the on the turn. On the river, Seidel bet 6,600, Benefield moved all in and Seidel called. Benefield had flopped a jack-high straight with , but Seidel rivered a flush to eliminate Benefield from the Main Event.
