Bodden:
Shchepkin:

Mattern:
Shulman:

Hugo Nazar moved all in for 40,500 from early position and Terik Brown made the call from the cutoff. The small blind quickly folded and Duy Ho in the big blind was ready to go, with his back bag already on his shoulders.
"Why do you have to call there. Man, you are lucky that I don't have a coin to flip. I fold," Ho said. "Can I show when I fold?" he asked the dealer and when that was approved, he turned over the . "Someone is gonna hit the eight or ten," Ho continued and watched the action unfold.

First, Peter Tobias moved all in from the cutoff and picked up the blinds and antes. The result was the same for Will Givens, who pushed all in from the button on the next hand, a bet that went uncalled.
