A short-stacked Kory Kilpatrick was just all in and at risk with and in need of improvement versus Barry Hutter's .
"Come on, I just want a good sweat!" said Kilpatrick before the community cards were dealt. The dealer then spread the flop to give Kilpatrick a flush draw.
"There we go!" he said. "I'm happy... I don't care what happens now."
But when the turn came the , Kilpatrick was amending his position.
"Okay, actually I want a heart," he said grinningly, and the table chuckled.
Alas for Kilpatrick, the river was the and he departed about 20 spots shy of the cash.

After winning a recent hand with by flopping a set, T.J. Cloutier was a bit confused regarding Steve Bartlett's actions.
Apparently, Cloutier had bet his hand on the river, and Bartlett tossed out a single chip to signify a call.
Cloutier rolled over his winner, and went to claim the rest of Bartlett's short stack, thinking the single chip had actually represented an all-in declaration.
After being told that Bartlett had only called, Cloutier gently chided his much younger opponent in a tone typically reserved for perturbed grandfathers.
"I'm sorry son, in my day when they tossed one chip in after a bet it meant all in," drawled Cloutier. "I've played a poker tournament or two in my day, and that's always how it was."
Despite not claiming Bartlett's whole stack, Cloutier added to his own with the win, and he is quietly approaching a remarkable third cash in just his fourth WSOP event of the summer.

We'd been keeping an eye on Table 434 over the last couple of levels, as Eric Baldwin and Matt Waxman had both been seated there across from one another in seats 2 and 5. Baldwin and Waxman have been spending a lot of time sharing tables at this year's WSOP, starting with their epic heads-up duel to conclude Event #7: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
Waxman won that battle to earn his first bracelet and deny Baldwin his second. Since then they've wound up playing against each other in other events, and just now when Table 434 broke they nodded across to one another as they prepared to find their new seats.
"We'll see each other soon again," said Waxman. "I hope so," said Baldwin.
Waxman lingered a moment longer to exchange some small talk with the tourney director before finding his seat, eventually winding his way to the empty 6 seat on Table 438. He hesitated just a moment before sitting down, having spotted the player sitting in seat 5... Baldwin.
They both laughed before commencing yet another battle at the 2013 WSOP.

A hand just went down that thrilled the railbirds, and it gave Ryan Eriquezzo's heart a little jolt too.
Playing a heads-up pot against Daniel Negreanu, Eriquezzo responded to an opening raise of 4,300 by "Kid Poker" with a three-bet to 12,200.
"How much more does he want?," Negreanu asked the dealer, before plunking his calling chips into the pot.
Negreanu quickly checked when the flop hit the board, and Eriquezzo opted for a bet of 11,100. Negreanu was not impressed, however, and he raised it up to 27,100. After Eriquezzo called, the turn came , and that's when things became interesting.
With the straight and flush draws both getting there on the turn, Negreanu elected to lead out for 31,000, and Eriquezzo immediately moved all in over the top.
"What a dirty card," shot Negreanu, as he clapped the cushion on the table. "That's a pretty sick turn."
Negreanu then asked for a count, and after determining that he would need to risk 65,300 more, he went into the tank to calculate all of the factors evident only to a player like Daniel Negreanu.
"This is so stupid, I might fold the best hand here," he said while mulling his options. "You seem like the type to do that with aces, and the ace of spades."
Eriquezzo sat still as a stone during Negreanu's interrogation, even as a massage attendant dutifully rubbed his back and shoulders, trying his best to avoid giving the hand reading master any additional information.
"I don't think I'm folding here," said Negreanu, continuing an internal monologue but delivering it to an audience of spectators and fellow players. "But, you could have ace-king with a spade, and you'll still get there some of the time."
Eventually, despite it appearing to all the world that Negreanu was poised to call, his hand went soaring into the muck.
"Whew!," said Eriquezzo, exhaling in relief while showing the for a perfectly executed semi-bluff. "It looked like you were never folding there."
"Nice hand," offered Negreanu, shaking his head seemingly to confirm his initial suspicions, and to chide himself for not pulling the trigger. "I thought you might have something like that."
