Ryan Austin Just Kashed Out, Courtesy of Chris Kash's Rivered Pair of Kings

Chris Kash and Ryan Austin played a big pot a moment ago, and the result left Austin frustrated and fuming.

After getting it in with the best hand, Austin's was caught up to on the river, as Kash's connected on the board.

Although his friends on the rail insisted he had Kash covered, Austin knew the score, and he insistently reminded his supporters that he was eliminated.

"Welcome to my life..." he said to nobody in particular, still shocked that a three-outer on the river had just cost him a chance to take home more than $99,000 in prize money.

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

After flatting an opening raise with , Eric Rappaport hoped to see the reliably reckless David Gerassi make a move from the small blind.

And what a move he made, shoving all in to try and steal the sizable pot. The original raiser got out of the way and Rappaport snapped off the bet with his cowboys. Gerassi had found a pocket pair, but his was outgunned and overmatched.

When the final board rolled out , Rappaport turned to his friends on the rail to talk the hand over, while Gerassi offered a "nice hand" to the man two seats to his right.

Matt Lin on Day 2 of Event 8 at the 2014 Borgata Winter Poker Open

Matt Lin needed to make a move quickly if he wanted to avoid bubbling the final two tables, and when he found in the hole his decision was made.

Jason Tulloss opened for 240,000 and Lin got it all in for 535,000 more. The bet forced Tulloss to tank for a while, but he ultimately made the call with to begin the race.

Lin turned away from the table and avoided watching the flop fall, but the hit the felt anyway. A on the turn brought Tulloss a slew of additional outs, as now any ten, jack, queen or king would give him the pot.

River:

Lin dodged the deck but he didn't know it, as he still stood with his back turned to the table.

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

After an opening raise to 160,000 by the player holding the button, Diem Phan moved her last 535,000 into the middle and hoped for the best.

Her opponent made the crying call, rolling a few bright pink T100000 chips forward while wincing at the same time, and Phan tabled .

Flop:

The perfect flop for Phan fell to the table, and as soon as it did, her opponent simply mucked his cards in surrender. He obviously held a dominated hand containing a nine, meaning the flop left him essentially drawing dead.

The turn () and river () completed the board to make things official, and Phan doubled through to push above 1.5 million.
