2013 World Series of Poker
We arrived at the table on the turn to see Chamath Palihapitiya bet all in for his last 21,150. The board read ![]()
![]()
![]()
. His lone opponent looked at cards and said, half-jokingly, "I need help." A player not in the hand offered to call the clock to motivate him to make his decision faster, and he agreed.
The dealer called the for a floorperson, who arrived and announced that the player had 1 minute and 10 seconds to make his decision. The floorman then walked away, although the dealer apparently assumed he would stay there and time the decision. The miscommunication sparked confusion at the table, and no one seemed to know how much time was left.
Steve Gee, who made the final table of the Main Event last year, was at the table but not in the hand, and he offered to help. Gee pulled out his iPad and opened the stopwatch, and announced to the table, "This is the official clock now." Gee's iPad read about four seconds at that point, even though almost a minute had passed since the floorman announced the clock. A few of the players were happy to use Gee's iPad, but the dealer felt otherwise. After about another 30 seconds, the dealer called the floorman back to the table, and he immediately started counting down the final ten seconds. When the countdown finished, Palihapitiya's opponent folded ![]()
face up, deciding his two pair was no good.

Seeing players standing up around Table 9, we moved over there and found Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy with a stack of orange chips in front of him, enough to put his opponent, Jonathan Green, all in on the turn. The board had paired at that point and now read ![]()
![]()
![]()
, and Green had about 30,000 left. The pot was around 40,000.
"Show me a bluff one time," Green said, showing ![]()
and folding.
"I would have showed you if you showed me a good hand, like queens," Josephy replied.
Green busted in a hand we didn't catch shortly thereafter.

On a ![]()
![]()
flop and roughly 4,000 in the middle, we found a player betting 2,500 from the hi-jack with a caller from the small blind before Kevin Pollak moved all in for roughly 27,000.
The flop aggressor spent over a minute deliberating before eventually folding, while the small blind kicked his cards to the muck to see Pollak pushed the pot to move to roughly 38,000.
"Kevin Pollak ladies and gentleman!" announced one player on the table.

We didn't catch the hand as it happened, and we didn't want to interrupt his massage to get the details, but Tony Gregg, who is fresh off his win in the $111,111 One Drop High Rollers Event, has doubled his stack up to 118,000, and is emerging as a threat in this Main Event.

Defending WSOP Main Event champion remains active here in Level 7, his frequent, aggressive play contrasting sharply with his relaxed seeming pose as he leans forward to continue receiving a lengthy message.
Just now he was calling an opponent's raise to 1,500 with position, then calling another bet of 2,000 following an ![]()
![]()
flop. The turn was the
, and this time Merson's opponent checked and he fired a bet of 3,200 that earned a call.
Both players checked the
river, and when Merson saw his opponent table ![]()
for a set of fives, he mucked.
The very next hand Merson was raising to 1,500 from the cutoff seat and his neighbor on the left called from the button. Merson continued for 2,200 on the ![]()
![]()
and his opponent stuck around. Then after both checked the
turn, the river brought the
and a bet of 3,500 from Merson, and his opponent folded.
