Busted, baby!Scotty Nguyen Eliminated, Loudly
Scotty Nguyen open-shoves for 7,100. A gentleman in mid position is considering the call. At this point an enormous crowd gathers around the table, as Nguyen is shouting, encouraging the gentleman to call.
"Come on, baby! I'm sick of this! Come on, knock me out!"
Eventually Mr Mid Position makes the call.
Nguyen:
Mr Mid Position:
("I'm alive!" he says for some reason)
Board:
"Royal!" shouts Nguyen, again for no reason, and high-fives a railer -- much of the fuss accompanying this hand has been needless, and in a last, glorious, surreal act before departing, Nguyen hands his mid-position assassin a large plastic peanut. -

dreaming of acesWaking Up a Sleeping Bear
He may be trying to steal forty winks during this final level, but Barry Greenstein sleeps with one eye open, and is always ready to pounce. With his head slumped in his hand and his eyelids gradually becoming more heavy as the clock ticks by, Greenstein suddenly awakes from his slumber to pop out a preflop raise.

Nothing Fazes Bill Gazes
Bill Gazes looked cucumber cool when his tournament life was on the line recently. We didn't fully catch his opponent's hand, but believe Gazes was up against a small pair with A-T. Either way, Gazes made top pair on a K-A-4-2-7 board and duly double up to over 38,000 in chips.
