Jan Bednar:   
Jeremy Menard:   

Bednar's sneaky pair of kings had Menard in a world of hurt. Menard found a little hope on the     flop, but improved no further on the   turn and   river to leave himself with just 30,000.

Hand 2:

Angel Guillen limped in on the button, and Menard put his last 30,000 in from the small blind. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos raised to 150,000 in the big blind, then folded when Guillen jammed.

Jeremy Menard:   
Angel Guillen:   

"Quadruple up, let's go!" Menard said. He bricked the     flop, and although the   turn gave him some additional outs with a gutshot straight draw, the   river left him just short of the two table redraw.
