On a board showing J “You checked the river with two pair?” a player who was observing the hand quipped. “He’s a changed man,” John Duthie joked. Nguyen then chimed in with; “Three more Corona’s and then maybe.” He then added, “You wanna teach the Master how to play?” The other player quickly replied, “I’m trying to learn from you.” Everyone laughed and Nguyen was at 31,000.

He spent a few moments in the tank, then released his hand into the muck. He was at 45,000 after the hand.
After a flop of 8 Chan could not beat it and mucked his hand. He was down to just 8,200 after losing that pot. It Was That Damn Sasquatch Adrian Gavile and John Kranyak were involved in a hand that resulted in Gavile making quad jacks against Kranyak’s ace-king. As a result, Gavile won the $100 prize package offered by the official sponsor of the 2009 WSOP, Jack Link’s Beef Jerky. The prize package essentially consists of $100 worth of beef jerky. Play was halted for almost five minutes as the floor awaited on the Jack Link’s Sasquatch to arrive and give Gavile his prize.
