Anthony Apicella opened to 2,100 from early position, and all of his opponents seemed to be surprised by this bet. They all folded and Apicella flipped over Q♠Q♣. "If I have a good hand I bet better", he laughed.
On the next hand, he opened to 2,100 again from under the gun. "Same missclick?" one of his opponents asked. "Aces?," tried to guess other player. They all folded again, but this time, Apicella didn't reveal his hand.

The small blind bet 11,000, so Thomas Kierzek in the cutoff went deep into the tank.
He eventually raised all-in for 38,000, more than the small blind's stack. Kierzek made his opponent fold, and later said that he had a full house.
