We arrived at the end of the hand to find Nick Schulman facing a bet of 1,000 from his opponent. Schulman sat riffling chips for a moment and then peeled a single yellow chip off of his stack. He flung it forward and his opponent responded by shaking his head.
Schulman fanned for a queen-jack low and his opponent mucked his hand.
From middle position, Prahlad Friedman raised to an unknown amount. Galen Hall reraised to 1,400 from the cutoff seat, and action folded back to Friedman. He made the call and then drew one card. Hall also took one card. After the draw, Friedman checked, and Hall fired 1,900. Friedman gave it up, and Hall scooped the pot.
From the button, Nick Schulman raised to 400. Jeff Lisandro called out of the blind blind and drew two cards. Schulman also took two. After the draw, both players checked, and Lisandro turned up just an ace. Schulman showed , and Lisandro mucked his hand.
That quote by Jeff Lisandro from the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event remains famous in the poker world to this day. Late in the Main Event that year, Lisandro and Prahlad Friedman were seated together at the ESPN feature table. During their time together, an incident arose regarding a missing ante before the flop. Friedman insisted that Lisandro did not put his ante in while Lisandro vehemently defended himself. The tension rose and the argument became more heated until Friedman stepped away from the table and talked to a floor supervisor privately.
Lisandro stood up from the table and continued to argue his point, until he spoke those famous words, "I'll take your head off!"
It's been right around eight years since that infamous moment, and today we find these two seated right next to each other on Table #366. Both players are currently under the starting stack with Friedman sitting on 26,500 and Lisandro on 24,000. As the day progresses, we'll see keep you posted on the status of these two players.

Both players took one new card on the draw and Cantu continued his aggression with a bet of 3,500. Monnette called, but mucked his hand after seeing Cantu's . Cantu raked in the chips and now sits on 44,200 in chips.
Stuart Rutter opened the action by popping it up to 450 from the cutoff. Alexandre Luneau called from the button and Naoya Kihara tagged along from the big blind. All three players took one card at the draw and action checked all of the way back to Luneau.
