Pierce showed the

to take the pot.

Action folded to the player on the button who opened for 525. The small blind folded and before the big blind could act the dealer, who perhaps was gripping the deck a little too tightly, spilled the rest of the pack face up across the table.
No one knew quite what to do, wondering if it was a misdeal. The player in the big blind made it clear that there was no way he was folding and kept his cards securely protected. The floor was called and as the muck and the stub were clearly separate, the remaining correct deck should be shuffled and the hand could continue.
The dealer washed the cards and as he finished shuffling the player in the big blind raised to 1,500 on won the pot. He then showed his 
as the reason for holding on to his hand so fiercely.

We were in the silver section of the Brasilia room when we heard a loud roar from one of the tables. As we rushed over we seen a player storming away from the table and You Kyoung-Oh with her hands over her face.
Kyoung-Oh had snap-called an all-in shove on a flop of 
.
Kyoung-Oh: 
Opponent: 
Kyoung-Oh was in great shape to eliminate her opponent and grab a monster stack. The turn, however, was the 
and her opponent's set of kings took the lead.
She needed an ace and her prayers to the poker gods were answered, as the dealer rapped the table and turned over the 
on the river.
