What does your girlfriend make of your love of poker? Does she get angry at you for spending too much time on the felt? Do you find yourself having to make apologetic meals when it gets a bit too much and promising that you'll pay her more attention?
Here's a suggestion by the PokerStars Blog team. And it's only a suggestion.
Denny Müller raised to 1,700 and a player to his left called. From the small blind, long-time player Peter "Bifta" Smyth shoved all in for 7,250. Müller reshoved all-in to get the third player out of the hand.

Denny Müller: 
"I misread my hand! I swear I thought I had sixes", Smyth exclaimed after tabling his hole cards.
The Brit found himself in an even deeper hole after the 
flop and was looking for a runner-runner miracle to survive. The 
on the turn was the best card he could find, opening up a straight draw. The 
on the river improved Smyth to two pair, but Müller's set was still best.
"Nice hand! I think I'm getting old", laughed Smyth as he exited the tournament area.

Peter Kamaras started off bad, but is quickly climbing back up the leaderboard.
In a blind battle with Piotr Sadowski, it was the Pole who bet 1,400 on a 
board. Kamaras raised to 3,100 and Sadowski called. On the 
river, Sadowski check-called a 5850 bet from the Hungarian.
Kamaras showed 
for a full house and Sadowski mucked his hand.
"I knew you were bluffing on the turn", grumbled Sadowski. "I had pocket threes", he added.
