Herget Just Misses Out
Mike Herget moved all in from the small blind and was called by Steve Yea with the bigger stack out of the big blind. As the two players waited with their hole cards face down for the floor to give the go-ahead to the dealer to deal the hand, Yea said to Herget, "I have trash."
To which Herget responded, "You don't have trash."
At this point the dealer reminded both players that they are not supposed to discuss the contents of their hands. After a few minutes, a floorman came over and both players turned over their hands.
Mike Herget: 
Steve Yea: 
It was a flip for Herget's tournament life with a spot in the money on the line. The 
flop kept Herget ahead but Yea binked the 
on the turn to pull ahead. The 
river changed nothing, sending Herget home painfully close to the money.
