"I Can't Win When I'm Ahead!"

In yet another pre-flop all in, Eric Assadourian took his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} up against Andrew Oataway's {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, with Oataway hitting another lucky set while behind.

"DIAMOND!" cried Assadourian.

"Keep 'em black!" bellowed Oataway.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Oataway made a full house. The river was the {Q-Spades} and he spun around to high-five the entire rail.

"I can't win when I'm ahead!" bemoaned Assadourian.

Oataway is now up to 300,000. Assadourian still has the chip lead with 425,000.

John Williams Doubles Through Andrew Oataway

John Williams moved all in for 105,000 and Andrew Oataway called.

Williams {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Oataway {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The flop was {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}, with Oataway picking up an open-ended straight draw to go with his overpair. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}.

"Keep it low"!" implored Oataway.

The river, though, was the {J-Hearts}, and Williams doubled up to just over 200,000. Oataway was left with 105,000.

Sean Dunwoodie Eliminated in 8th Place ($3,006), Ram Dy Eliminated in 7th Place ($4,008)

Ram Dy-  7th Place
Ram Dy- 7th Place
Sean Dunwoodie was all in for his case 10,000 from the small blind. With the action folded to Ram Dy on the button, he moved all in, but Peter Verey snap-called from the big blind.

Dunwoodie {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Dy {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Verey {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The flop was {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, the turn was the {K-Diamonds}, the river was the {K-Clubs}, and Verey dragged the monster pot with his full house, eliminating both Dunwoodie and Dy. Since Dy had more chips to start the hand than Dunwoodie, he finished in 7th place, earning $4,008, while Dunwoodie took home $3,006 for his eighth-place finish.
