Straight Flush on the River

The board read {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Two unknown players were all in.

Player A: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Player B: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Player A was ahead with a king-high flush but the river was the {8-Hearts}, which gave Player B a straight flush. Player B won the pot and busted Player A.

Eight-Handed Tables

Each table began ten-handed but that has changed over the last couple of levels. The current configuration is eight-handed, which will remain for the rest of the tournament.

Ozzie Yildiz Has ESP and Folds Pocket Kings Pre-flop

An unknown player from early position open-shoved for 22,000. Steven Bouya moved all in for 34,000. Ozzie Yildiz, in late position, folded K-K face up.

Unknown Player: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Bouya: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The flop was {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. The turn was the {Q-Spades} and Bouya picked up a full house. The river was the {A-Clubs} and the unknown player was eliminated. Bouya increased his stack to over 60,000.

Ozzie Yildiz made an amazing laydown, like he knew that his Kings were doomed.

Nick "Frodo" Wright defended his blind to an opponent who had been bullying him around for most of the day. Wright made a stand with A-9 and unfortunately ran into A-Q. Wright has been eliminated from the main event.

"Looks like I'll either be drinking at the bar or playing in cash games," Wright told us as he left the tournament area.
