Threatening to Strip
Realizing he'd just been attacked by a beverage, Juanda immediately started patting his back and asking "Is it water?" "I'm sorry, John, but I think it might be the energy drink," I replied, simultaneously thinking, "Well, that's the risk you take when you wear white."
"I think I'll just play with my shirt off," joked Juanda as he mimicked the removal of his garment. Sadly for the female contingent of the rail, we didn't get to witness Juanda's bulging biceps, but I would have love to have seen him remove his shirt to reveal a giant Full Tilt logo tattooed across his pecs.
Shakerchi Has The Wisdom (Well, Chips) Of Solomon
flop against Talal Shakerchi who just called the 14,000 bet. On the 
turn Solomon checks and Shakerchi moved all in for 66,000. Solomon, "You moved all in? Well, that's what I wanted..." He said this latter part with a slight unsureness in his voice as if he actually felt despite the big move-in he was behind. Nevertheless he made the call and flipped
, Shakerchi turned over 
and the river bricked with the 
appearing. Shakerchi doubles up to around 180,000.
Juanda Has Nuts, Confirms Matusow
"How much do you have left?" inquired Juanda. Before a count had been completed, Juanda continued, "Oh, whatever, I'm all in."
With his face scrunched up in frustration, Moorman's reaction will have comforted Juanda, but Moorman called nonetheless and we had ourselves a showdown.
Moorman =
Juanda =
Considering their recent history, in which a battered and bruised Moorman had been pushed off a sequence of hands, Matusow echoed most people's thoughts by commenting, "Wow, John, I thought you had better than that."
With the board coming
, a relieved Moorman saw his stack increase two-fold, whilst Matusow complimented a wounded Juanda by saying, "Well, if there's one thing we've learned, it's that Juanda hasn't lost his nuts."After the hand, I spoke briefly to Moorman, who said that he wasn't going to reraise preflop and then fold. "Sevens was the worst that I was raising with there". Either way, Moorman is now back up near the 200,000 mark.

Fisch-a-man
The flop came
and Fischman checked it to Seidel who contined with a bet. Fischman then raised before Seidel quickly threw in a bunch of red 5,000 chips in a reraise move. Fischman took his time, but then announced he was all in for another 151,000 more.Seidel took his time but ultimately had to let his hand go into the muck. He's still in great shape on 250,00 but Fischman's crept ahead on 280,000.

The Loddenator...And Loddenator II - Loddenated
flop, Rajinder Shina bets out 22,000 and Johnny Lodden raises to 65,000. Shina thinks for absolutely ages, a good five minutes, before eventually declaring all-in. Lodden snap-calls him with 
for the flopped second nuts but there's a slight shock as Shina shows and had seriously contemplated folding here.The turn and river don't pair the board and Lodden adds another 100,000 to his stack.
But...the honeymoon period is over, Lodden soon gives away a large chunk, he holds
on a 
flop but runs into Jani Sointula's which holds and has to pay off the flying Finn to the tune of 122,000 putting him almost right back where he started before the previous hand.
