"You don't look like a three-minute raise guy," Kelsall added as the minutes continued to tick off the clock. Hang apologized to his tablemates, and he eventually called after several minutes.

Kelsall showed 8x7x5x4x3x, but Hang had him outpipped with 8x7x5x4x2x. "The real 8-7-5-4," Steve Zolotow said as Hang raked in the pot.

"If you didn't show that straight, I probably would've folded," Hang told Kelsall.

There was around 150,000 in the middle as Anderson Ireland found himself all-in from the big blind against Koji Fujimoto on the button. They were on the final draw, and Ireland had patted, sending Fujimoto into a small tank before he decided to throw away a nine.

Anderson Ireland: 10x9x5x4x3x All in
Koji Fujimoto: 7x6x4x2x

"Bad break," Ireland needled Fujimoto in jest. However, the joke was on Ireland as Fujimoto flipped over a 3x, making a seven to send Ireland to the rail.

At another table, John Juanda got his final 50,000 into the middle preflop from under the gun, at risk against Mark Roland in the big blind.

Roland took one and then patted the last two draws. Juanda drew two, then one, then patted behind on the end, prompting a quick, "You win," from Roland.

John Juanda: 8x5x4x3x2x All in
Mark Roland: 10x7x6x5x3x
