Bagels opened under the gun and when the action folded back around to Debsai, he shoved all in for about 1.4 million (1.2 million effective). Bagels called off to put the last of his stack at risk with , and he was racing against Debsai's

Sam Datta just lost a chunk of change to the man we've dubbed Rey Mysterio Jr. (being the younger of two players who declined to provide their names).
When the money went into the middle our mystery man was trailing badly, as his made just middle pair on the
board. Datta had led out for a bet on fourth street holding
, and Mysterio Jr. shoved all in for about double the bet. Datta made the call to find himself out in front, but the river card came
to give the man with no name a replenished stack.
