No-Limit Hold'em

Tim Frazin was in the small blind and facing an all-in bet of 30,000 from a player in early position. "I've been running pretty good," Frazin said.

He eventually folded, claiming he had pocket deuces, to preserve his stack of 250,000. "If I'm a good player, why do I need to gamble," he said.

The next hand, Frazin three-bet to 15,000 and showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} after everyone folded. "That's skill. I made him fold," he said.

Pot-Limit Omaha

John Fontana, Maurice Hawkins, and Vince Dale saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Dale bet 15,000, Fontana announced pot, and Hawkins stuck in his remaining few thousand. Dale folded.

Maurice Hawkins: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
John Fontana: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Fontana had flopped a set of kings and left Hawkins drawing to one out. Hawkins failed to hit the {3-Spades} turn or {3-Diamonds} river and hit the rail shortly after dinner break.

"At least I can say I lost with aces," Hawkins said as he made his exit.
