Carlos Mortensen raised to 1,500 from the cutoff, Nam Le called on the button, and a player in the small blind re-raised to 6,500. Mortensen four-bet huge, tossing in a handful of pink, T5,000 chips, Le folded, and the player in the small blind called all-in for around 19,000.
Mortensen's opponent stood pat, the Matador drew one, and here's how the hands ended up:

Mortensen's opponent doubled, and the Matador dropped to 65,000 chips.
There have been problems as of late with regards to the decks in play at the 2011 World Series of Poker. Due to a printing issue, low spades (the , , and predominantly) are "marked" on the back. For the last hour or so, players in Event #16 have been tediously studying the backs of their cards to see if they are marked.
Because these specific cards truly matter in 2-7, they are changing decks on every table. Each table will now use one deck from the 2010 World Series of Poker. Hopefully this will eradicate the issue, and the players can worry about playing their opponents rather than examining the setup.
Michael Binger raised to 2,000 from the hijack seat, and the button three-bet all in for 7,450. In the big blind, Nick Schulman called, and Binger folded out of the way. Schulman stood pat with his , and the one card his opponent drew was no help.
Schulman tallies the knockout, and he's up to 86,000.
When we reached the table, Eric Cloutier was all in and at risk against John Monnette and Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot. Ulliot drew one, Monnette stayed pat, and Cloutier drew one.
Ulliot bet 20,000 into a dry side-pot, and Monnette quickly folded his hand.
"Nutties," Ulliot said with a grin, tabling . Cloutier, who finished runner-up in this event last year, flashed a before mucking his hand and hitting the rail.
Under the gun, Scott Seiver made it 1,800 to play, and action came around to Tom Dwan on the button. He studied Seiver for a while, then reraised all in for 7,775. Seiver quickly called, and he took one card while Dwan stood pat.
"Durrrr" turned over the powerful , and Seiver said, "Well, I'm drawing live."
There were a few surprised faces at the table, so Seiver showed his as he squeezed the last card. It was no good. A red was no good for Seiver, and Dwan doubles to 17,325.

When we reached the table, Doyle Brunson was all in against Phil Hellmuth and the two had already drawn. Texas Dolly tabled for a ninety-six, and Hellmuth gave a mini-speech before mucking the worst hand.
"You get it in with the worst against me all the time on television," Hellmuth complained. "I told myself the next time he moves in, I'm calling."
Hellmuth did, and he's lost chips because of it.
