On a board showing , Men Nguyen led out with a 15,000 bet and was called by Dino Brivati.
The last card off the deck was the .
"How much you got left?" asked Nguyen.
Brivati looked over his stack -- there was about 40,000 there.
Nguyen then grabbed two big stacks of yellow (1,000) chips and slammed them into the middle, putting Brivati all in. After some serious think time, Brivati reluctantly made the call and Nguyen flipped over for a rivered two pair. Brivati mucked, breathing a sigh of frustration, and Nguyen raked in the pot.

Erik Cajelais check-raised around 25,000 in chips on a flop -- but, after tanking for a few minutes, original bettor Howard Lededer announced all in and Cajelais folded instantly. Lederer showed a pair of sevens.

We just witnessed a rare hand over on the feature table between Men Nguyen and Erik Cajelais. The game was Hold'em and action had folded around the table to Nguyen who completed the bet from the small blind. Cajelais then checked his option in the big, only to see the flop come !
Both players checked the flop, and the turn, which brought the . A moment later, the dealer burned one and revealed the river... the !
With the absolute nuts on the board, Men Nguyen tanked nonetheless and Cajelais looked over at him with a smile, saying, "Don't even try to bet here."

Relatively chipped-up Mats Gavatin, who's been busy nicking blinds and the like since he acquired his big stack courtesy of Erik Cajelais, raised to 7,600 from the cutoff. Over to Robin Keston in the big blind, who announced all in, or as close to it as he could get within the pot limit. Gavatin squirmed for a moment (he always looks a bit squirmy and uncomfortable, we've noticed, regardless of whether he has a real hand or not), and eventually opted to fold.

Michel Abecassis just dodged a bullet -- two of them, actually -- to double up and stay alive here in Event 2.
(Hold'em)
Abecassis opened the pot with a raise to 8,000 from under-the-gun and Allie Prescott made the call from the big blind.
The flop came and Prescott checked to Abecassis who fired a 16,000 continuation bet. Prescott responded with a pot-sized bet that put Abecassis all in. A call was made and the following showdown ensued:
Abecassis:
Prescott:
Abecassis would hit his flush on the turn -- -- and the river blanked, , securing his double up.
After the hand, Abecassis stacked up right around 80,000 in chips while Prescott dropped to 49,200.
Erik Cajelais in the big blind and Ian Frazer across the table saw a flop, which Cajelais checked. Over to Frazer, who seems to have raised preflop, who bet 7,000. Cajelais now check-raised it to 22,000. Call.
Both players checked the turn, and Cajelais quickly checked the river as well. Back to Frazer, who thought about it for a moment before announcing a bet of 59,000.
Cajelais gave it only the briefest of dwells and looked at each of his hole cards, one by one, before folding. We couldn't see the hole cards from we were, but he told Frazer he'd folded a straight with the king-high flush draw.

Everyone is full of dinner, and the word on the floor is that we're still going to try to play it out tonight so everyone can play the PLO at noon tomorrow as well. Looks like we're here for the long haul.
