From under the gun, Dylan Thomassie open-shoved for his last 127,000 before the flop. The action folded around to Foster Hays who reraised to 300,000 before Jeffrey Lavelle moved all-in from the small blind. Hays quickly got out of the way and the cards were revealed:

Le:
Carman:

Carman could only shrug his shoulders and walk away, but at least he'll have $33,825 in cash to cheer him up somewhat. Le is now up to more than 1.2 million.
Robert Koss opened for 55,000 from late position and Bruce Antman moved all in from the small blind for 364,000. Koss sat back in his seat and took off his hat.
"How old are you?' Koss asked Antman, who said nothing. "Problably too old to bluff here," Koss said as he tossed cards in the muck.
