We got to the table with the action already completed on sixth street. Daniel Negreanu threw out a bet in the dark and was quickly called by John Monnette. Negreanu tabled to go with his upcards for tens full of kings. Monnette mucked and claimed that he too had a full house. Despite the hit, Monnette was still sitting with a healthy stack of 8,000 while Negreanu moved to approximately 6,000 in chips.
Inside the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino isn't the only place for you to satisfy your World Series of Poker appetite. WSOP.com is the leading online poker site in Nevada and has plenty of action running around the clock, seven days a week.
All summer long, a special promotion labeled Multi-Table Madness will be running from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. PST each night. The promotion will select one random hand at a random cash-game table during those hours that will award every player dealt into the hand with a cash bonus up to $100.
What's more is that WSOP.com will be sweetening the prize by giving players as much as $100 more for each additional table they're playing at during the time of the drawing. That means if you're playing in four different cash games when your table is selected, you could walk away with up to $400 in bonus money.

We get to the table on sixth street and Doug Lee has made a bet. Allen Kessler tossed out a call and their last cards were dealt face down. Lee bet again and Kessler grabbed the call, sat it in front of Lee and said "here's another 200 for you."
Lee turned over for an eight high straight. Kessler moaned a bit about his luck... "I had a royal flush draw," he said, turning over for aces and queens. A player at the table cracked a joke and asked Kessler if he would rather hit a royal flush in this tournament or in video poker. Kessler didn't answer but it's probably a safe assumption to say he'd prefer the latter.
