Coppola:
Gregorich:

John Monnette, busted about an hour ago, seems to have left a book on a side table here at the secondary feature area. He's reading The Lexus and the Olive Tree, the well-regarded 1999 book by New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman about the era of globalization.

Splitting up the pots in the last hand was very messy. Fabio Coppola opened preflop with a raise before Mark Gregorich three-bet. Mark Tenner called from the small blind, as did Coppola.
Tenner led the action on every street of a board. By the turn, Gregorich was all in for his last 13,000, creating a side pot between Coppola and Tenner that included some of the turn bets and all of the river bets.
At showdown, the hands were:
Tenner:
Coppola:
Gregorich:
Tenner's nut low and two pair, kings and fours, was good for three-quarters of the side pot. Coppola got one-quarter of that pot. As for the main pot, Tenner got half of the low and half of the high, with Gregorich and Coppola each taking a remaining quarter.
By our gorilla math, it would seem that the only person who made money on the hand was Tenner.
