For the first time in a while, we had some real action over at Table 16. Quyen Nguyen opened the can of worms with a raise from middle position. Michael Rosenthal raises from late position, and Sam Hiatt three bets from the cutoff. Jason Ruffinelli is in the small blind, and he caps the betting with the fourth raise. All three opponents call, and it's four-handed to the flop.
The dealer spreads out the first three cards:
. Ruffinelli bets, Nguyen folds, Rosenthal calls, and Hiatt raises. Ruffinelli is all in, and Rosenthal calls the second bet.The turn and river come
and 
in that order, with Rosenthal check-calling a bet both times. At showdown, Hiatt tables 
, which is enough to best Rosenthal. Next is Ruffinelli, who needs to beat that hand to stay alive. He turns over 
, and is outkicked and kicked out by Sam Hiatt.
