2012 World Series of Poker
No Limit Hold'em:
Action folded around to Ben Staufeneger in the cutoff and he moved all in for 14,000. Both the button and small blind folded, but Kevin Calenzo liked what he saw in the big blind and made the call.
Showdown
Staufeneger:
Calenzo:
Staufeneger was behind but he did pick up an open-ended straight draw on the flop. As if that wasn't a good enough sweat, the turn gave him an added flush draw. Much to Calenzo's dismay, the spiked on the river to give Staufeneger the said flush.
"How could he miss?" someone at the table asked.
"He could have missed," Calenzo joked.
Meanwhile, Mike Noori has been eliminated from the tournament.

Stud Hi/Lo:
We caught the action on fifth street when Chris Bjorin paired his threes and bet 5,000, which 2009 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Jeff Lisandro called. The latter took the led on sixth and put out a bet of his own, Bjorin called, and then both men checked seventh.
Bjorin: /
Lisandro: / {%h} / (x)
Lisandro wasn't in a hurry to show, so Bjorin revealed trip threes. Lisandro shook his head slightly and showed two of his down cards before sending his whole hand to the muck.
