We missed the action on the hand, but Alex Bilokur explained that after he five-bet all in preflop, Eric Froehlic was the only caller and the player at risk holding .
Bilokur had and was all over the flop. His set held on the turn and river leaving an empty seat where Froehlich once was.
We found Mike Matusow facing a raise to 15,000 from Erik Seidel before the flop. Matusow made it 45,000, and Seidel came back with a min-reraise to 75,000. Matusow thought for awhile, asking the dealer to pull in the raise before deciding to roll with the five-bet to 115,000. Seidel pushed forward the rack still containing his chips after moving into his new seat, and a heated Matusow was beside himself as he flipped , saying he knew he should have folded. Sure enough, Seidel tabled , which held up on the board.
"I knew I should folded," Matusow said. "I knew I should have folded."

Phil Galfond bet 11,700 from the big blind against Byron Kaverman on the button on a flop. Kaverman sat motionless for a bit before dropping 25,400 into the middle. Galfond pushed all in, and Kaverman made the call.
Kaverman:
Galfond:
Galfond was in command with aces, but the turn gave Kaverman a few additional outs. The dealer burned and turned a river, and Kaverman's boat sank Galfond.
