Oh dear. We're losing some of the star power that was left in this event. Dutch Boyd has recently hit the rail, courtesy of Thor Hansen. Boyd was all in on third street showing the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

; Hansen and Daniel Studer got in there with the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

and

{6-Hearts}

respectively.

On sixth street, Hansen was showing x-x / {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{k-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

against Studer's x-x / {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

. Hansen made a gutsy bet there that Studer called; Hansen bet again on the river and got Studer to fold what was probably the best hand -- since Hansen had only a pair of threes! He said that he could tell that threes had Boyd beat and made the play to fold the better hand.

Boyd never showed his hand. His board develoepd x-x / {k-Spades}

{k-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

{j-Diamonds}

/ x and, true to Hansen's prediction, could not beat a pair of threes.
