We came in on the action with Kenneth Lind calling the all in of Jo Ianello with a flop of 
on the board. Lind had 
for top pair and a flush draw and Ianello tabled 
for two pair.
Ianello survived the 
turn but the 
river completed Lind's draw, eliminating Ianello in 20th place. Lind told us he was in the hand by mistake because he thought he was the big blind when he put his initial call into the pot. Lucky for Lind he didn't give up once the mistake was made.

After making it 100,000 to play with 
, Barry Bashist heard the words he wanted to hear.
"I'm all-in," declared Tim McCarthy, moving his last 310,000 forward for the all in bet.
When the original raiser got out of the way, Bashist snap-called, telling McCarthy and the dealer "don't do it to me again" as McCarthy had recently cracked a previous pair of aces with ace-nine suited, flopping the flush.
McCarthy turned over his 
and hoped to crack the aces for a second time, but no miracles arrived on the 
board, sending home on the second-best hand in Hold'em.
