No Limit Hold'em
Shortly after his Omaha 8 or better win, Ray Hanson added to his stack again, this time against Ian O'Hara.
With approximately 70,000 in the middle on a turn, both players checked.
Following the 
river, O'Hara checked again, and Henson thought briefly before he declared, "this is the nittiest check ever", and then turned over 
, which was the winner as O'Hara showed 
.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Walter Chambers lost the most portion of his stack when he check-called out of the big blind against Ray Henson on a 
board. Henson rolled over 
for trips aces and a low, and Chambers was scooped as his eight-low was no good.
One hand later, Chambers raised in the small blind and got the rest in after the 
flop against Russell Clayton.

Russell "Rusty" Clayton: 
The turn completed the flush and the 
river was of no help to Chambers and he was knocked out.
