Exactly four years ago to the day, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event experienced one of its wildest sessions ever. One player was tossed from poker's most prestigious tournament for, no joke, exposing his genitalia in the middle of a hand and then throwing his shoe at the dealer. And that's only part of the craziness that transpired.
Later in the day, patrons inside the Rio, which hosted the WSOP at the time, experienced an earthquake that sent shockwaves through the famous Amazon Room. Kevin Martin captured a video of the aftermath.
Alex Foxen opened from early position and a player in middle position three-bet to 3,500. Foxen made the call.
Both players checked the 6♥J♥2♦ flop leading to the Q♥ on the turn. Foxen bet 3,500 and received a call from his opponent.
On the 9♦ river Foxen made a roughly pot-sized bet of 14,500. The player in middle position thought for about one minute before surrendering the pot.

Darren Elias opened to 1,000 from under the gun but was then immediately three-bet to 2,100 from Robert Russ in middle position.
The action folded back to Elias who made the call to see the flop of 5♦Q♠J♠.
Elias checked to the aggressor who kept on aggressing with a bet of 3,000 which Elias called and they went to the turn 9♣.
Elias checked once more to Russ who then announced a bet of 8,500 and Elias hastily tossed his cards into the muck and began preparing for the next hand.

Brandon Mitchell opened to 800 from middle position, and was called by Scott Lenter in the cutoff and by the small blind.
The flop was 10♣K♥8♥, and Mitchell bet 2,000. Lenter called, but the small blind folded at that point.
On the turn Q♥, Mitchell checked and let Lenter bet 4,000. But Mitchell didn't give up and called.
When the river J♥ came, Mitchell took over the lead and sized it up to 17,000. But it was too much for Lenter, who folded.
