Banghart Traps Meglich, Earns a Double

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jeff Banghart
Jeff Banghart

Jeff Banghart opened to 125,000 from under the gun action folded around to Robert Meglich, who defended his big blind. The flop was {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Meglich checked. Banghart checked behind.

The turn came {4-Hearts} and both players checked again. The river came {j-Spades} and Meglich checked once again. Banghart announced he was all in as he pushed forward a stack of chips. Meglich asked for a count, which was totaled to be 520,000.

"Call," said Meglich. Both hands were tabled.

Jeff Banghart: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Robert Meglich: {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Banghart had trapped Meglich with a flopped set that became a full house on the turn. He continued his trap, allowing Meglich to hit jacks up by the river, where he got paid off with his overbet shove to score the double.

Corey Williams Eliminated in 8th Place ($15,886)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Corey Williams
Corey Williams

David Levy went all in from under the gun and action folded around to Corey Williams, who was on the button and called all in for less. The blinds got out of the way and it was off to the races.

Corey Williams: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
David Levy: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Williams needed to improve to stay alive in the tournament with his ace-king suited against Levy's fishhooks. The flop fell {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Levy remained out in front. The turn came {q-Clubs}.

"Pair on the board," requested Levy. While a pair did not come, the river {10-Diamonds} was safe and Levy rejoiced with his friends as he took down the pot, sending Williams to the rail as the eighth-place finisher along the way.
