We observed the action starting with Robert Cheung check-calling the 15,000 bet of his opponent on the 
flop with the pot already at roughly 25,000. Cheung checked the 
turn and his opponent followed with an all in. Cheung called and he was not happy when the hands were tabled.
Cheung: 
Opponent: 
His opponent had the straight with outs to the flush and Cheung was drawing to a chop. As luck would have it, one of Cheung's outs came when the 
river was dealt, giving both players the same hand. Needless to say
the river put a little bounce in Cheung's step.
We found Alex Queen facing an all-in bet from an opponent after all the cards were out, with the board reading 
. Queen dropped a tower of yellow chips in the middle after thinking for a bit.
"You've got me," his opponent said. Queen tabled 
after his opponent showed 
for a busted combo draw.
At a nearby table, Amit Makhija got it all in with 
and held up against an opponent with 
to double through.

Darren Elias raised to 5,200 from late position and was countered with an all in from the player in the hijack seat. Elias called and the hands were tabled.
Elias:
Hijack:
The race ended as quickly as it begun when the flop came to give Elias quads. There was nothing for his opponent to do at this point except wait out the 
turn and river, so the dealer could call "payout".
