"C'mon, Scott show us quads! I know you have quads!" asked his tablemate Dan Shak.
"He can't have quads" was Stoevski's reply, indicating that he had folded a three.
A few hands later Dag Martin Mikkelsen made a similar play. John Juanda three-bet pre-flop to 2,500 and Mikkelsen simply shoved enough to put Juanda to a decision for all of his chips. This strategy of shoving pre-flop against professionals is discussed in Lee Nelson's much hyped book "Kill Phil" (and also his new book "Kill Everyone"). Perhaps on this table "Kill John" would be more appropriate as Juanda was forced to fold once again.
Lightman got it all in pre-flop holding pocket queens, in great shape against Moran's , but the board filled out giving Moran a higher pair, eliminating Lightman from the main event.
Jedlicka opened with a 700 pre-flop raise and Moran re-popped it to 2,500; Niki made the call. The flop came A-K-x with two spades and Moran led out with a 2,500 bet. Once again, Niki made the call.
A third spade fell on the turn and this time it was Jedlicka who led the betting, firing a 6,500 bullet. Moran raised it up to 13,000 and when the action returned to Niki, he moved all in. Moran made the call and turned over the ; Jedlicka tabled for a flush. The river blanked and Niki raked in the 85,000 pot.

MacMillan:
Tony G is disgusted at the two-outer that his opponent has spiked on the flop as he slams his cards onto the felt.
The turn and river come and in an amazing hand MacMillan collects a pot worth over 70,000 chips. Sarah Bilney is eliminated and the steam is coming out of the ears of Tony G as he plummets to around 23,000.
Reina:
Grey:
The turn was the and the river was the . Reina won the pot as David Grey headed to the rail. Reina increased his stack to 76,000 and is among the chipleaders.
