"Hold on, let me take a picture in case I die," an all-in Mike Thorpe said as he was heads-up against Frank Muir.
Thorpe was all in for around 35,000 on the turn with the board showing 2♠Q♥3♠K♣ and had Q♦Q♣A♦10♦ for a Broadway straight. Muir turned over 6♦4♦5♥7♥ for a straight draw.
The river came the J♣ and Thorpe doubled up.
"Just a queen would've been good," a tablemate told Thorpe.
"I didn't know that. PLO is my absolute worst game," Thorpe responded.

Philippe Laval raised on the button and got a call from Nick Kost in the big blind.
On the 2♦3♣J♦ flop, Kost check-called a bet from Laval to see the 2♠ on the turn.
The players checked to the 7♦ river and Kost quickly fired out a bet. Laval thought very briefly and then made the call.
Kost tossed 10♣8♦ onto the table for ten-high, while Laval showed A♥Q♥ for a winning ace-high.

After Frank Muir raised in the cutoff, "Crazy" Mike Thorpe defended his big blind to see a flop of 3♦4♠K♣.
Thorpe check-called a bet from Muir to see the 2♥ come on the turn and checked again.
Muir bet once more and got a fold from the high-stakes mixed cash game player, who's been seen in several WSOP mixed game tournaments this summer, including a 19th place finish in the $1,500 Limit Omaha 8 or Better.

Heads-up on a board of 5♣4♦Q♥7♦, Chip Jett bet 30,000 from the big blind as action went on Allan Le on the button.
Le announced pot for 132,000 and Jett, with around 100,000 remaining, tanked for a moment before folding.
"Show the bluff," tablemate Shaun Deeb told Le following the hand.
"Can't. Too many good cards," Le responded.

Daniel Blum raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Andrew Brown called in the cutoff.
The flop came 2♦4♥5♦ and Blum checked over to Brown, who potted for 17,000. Blum now pushed forward a tower of chips to put Brown all in, and Brown called for his last 48,000.
Andrew Brown: A♣3♣3♠10♠
Daniel Blum: A♥A♦8♥7♥
Blum had aces, but Brown had flopped the wheel and was a big favorite to double up. The board ran out 5♠2♥ and Brown stayed in front to secure the pot.

Bets were in front of Allen Kessler and Thor William Morstoel with a completed board of 6♥4♦8♣K♣A♣.
Kessler was in early position and called a river bet from Morstoel, but he wasn't happy about it.
Morstoel showed A♠K♦5♦3♣ for top two pair and a six-five low.
Kessler bemoaned his bad fortune, showing A♦2♦, with his nut low counterfeited on the river by Morstoel, who ended up scooping the pot away from the "Chainsaw"
