Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
On a board showing 
, Mike Matusow faced an all-in bet from Bradley Hinson for 21,200 with roughly 20,000 already in the pot. Matusow was thinking about his decision, as a call represented about one-fifth of his remaining stack. Eventually, he put in the chips to call, and the hands were tabled.
Matusow: 
Hinson: 
Matusow was behind but had outs to a straight, trips, or two pair. The river 
was not what Matusow needed, though, and that gave Hinson the double-up with his pocket aces.

Barry Greenstein raised to 3,000 from early position, and Scott Seiver three-bet to 7,700 from the cutoff. Greenstein called, and the flop came 
. Greenstein checked, and Seiver bet 9,000, which was good enough for Greenstein to fold.

Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
The board was already complete, and the player in the big blind bet 20,000 on the river of a 
board. Calvin Anderson called all in for 15,500, and a third player in the hand went into the tank. The floor staff was called over, and Anderson was throwing around some words while the clock was called on the other player. Half a minute ran down, and the hand was declared dead.
Anderson turned over his 
, and the big blind wanted to muck his cards, but Anderson insisted it to be tabled as per the all-in rules. The 
was exposed, and Anderson more than doubled as a result of the hand. He then complained about both of his opponents whispering to the nearby rail during the hand before the floor staff calmed the situation down, and play carried on.
