Allen Cunningham vs. Joe Cassidy
Level 40: 1,000,000-2,000,000, 300,000 ante
|:img:4102,L:|In the last hand of the day, the board shows J
83
on the flop with more than 11,000 in the pot. Allen Cunningham has bet 21,000, pot-committing himself with just 3,700 behind. Joe Cassidy goes into the tank, and when it's announced that play has ended for the day, Cassidy takes advantage of the time to think about his decision.
After several minutes, Cassidy folds, forfeiting the pot to Cunningham, who increases his stack to about 36,000 in chips. Everyone at the table quickly starts the end-of-day chip-verification process.

Eugene Todd (bro) Spikes a One-Outer to Bust Tom "durrr" Dwan
Level 40: 1,000,000-2,000,000, 300,000 ante
|:img:4109,L:|With the board showing 982Q
on the turn, Tom "durrr" Dwan and Eugene Todd find themselves all in with set-over-set -- Dwan's pocket nines against Todd's pocket deuces. With the two players fairly close in chips, Todd expects to be either crippled or eliminated.
But the river brings the only card Eugene Todd wanted to see -- the 2. Nearby players leap up from their chairs to see the commotion, and a crowd quickly forms around the table to see what happened.
|:img:4126,R:|
The chips are counted down, and Todd had Dwan slightly covered. Tom "durr" Dwan is eliminated, while Eugene Todd (bro) increases his stack to about 43,000.
Jean-Robert Bellande, sitting at the next table, tells Dwan that he must be a lousy player if he can't fade a one-outer. Dwan takes it all with a smile and a laugh as he leaves the tournament area -- that's poker.
