Boucai Gets Off One Stop Before Valuetown

A Double For Danzer
With the board reading 
, we caught up with the action after one player called 7,700 from George Danzer. Another, though, shoved with the biggest stack of the bunch. Danzer called all in 22,600 more and after about three minutes, the third player in the hand folded, saying he was giving up pocket tens.
"If you have a flush, you're good," said the big stack while showing 
. Danzer showed for a flush, making the 
river card meaningless (except for the one who folded the set of tens).

A Kingly Battle
We saw the ESPN TV crew rushing over to Johnny Chan's table so we followed and found Chan all in holding the 
up against Shane Abbott's 
. The odds of two players being dealt the same pocket pair are around 135-to-1 but with flushes still possible Chan was still at risk.
The flop came 
which did give Abbott outs to a runner runner flush, but the turn brought the securing a chop pot for the two players. After the meaningless 
fell on the river the pot was split up and Chan's stack was at around 26,000.
