On a flop of T 8 4 rainbow, seat 8 moved in, then Steve Dannenmann moved in, then Mike Zemlyansky (Hewlett, NY) called, having both players covered.

The short stack held T8 suited for two pair and the lead. Steve held AK off for two overs, and Mike held pocket Aces, which had been out-flopped.
That all changed on the turn, however, when another 4 paired the board, giving Mike Aces-up. River was a 9 and Mike took the pot, sending both opponents home.
With those two empty seats, they were ready to break another table. 34 remain in action with 306 players.
