Runner-Runner for Harrington

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Brent Harrington just shoved all in for 23,000 over an opening raise to 5,000 and his opponent made the call. Harington was behind, but not without outs in the following showdown.

Harrington: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

"Ace please! Just hold," Harrington's opponent said, as the flop brought out {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Harrington was now looking for running cards, but any heart would give his opponent an winning flush.

The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and the river the {Q-Spades}, giving Harrington three of a kind. The table cheered loudly, and Harrington now sits on a comfortable stack.

Peters Keeps His Hopes for Title No. 2 Alive

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 200 ante

Roy Peters won the first event of the Run it Up Reno series this week, and right now he's still going strong on the Survivor tournament after tripling up.

Peters, eager to shove his last 4,500 chips, was almost already all in before getting dealt his second card, and the action folded to the blinds who both called.

The hand was checked down on {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Peters showed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for an amazing hand on a blind shove. He beat out {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and now sits on 17,000 chips.

Somerville Gets There, Like a Pro

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 200 ante

The player under the gun moved all in for 2,500 chips and the small blind called, after which Jason Somerville called from the big blind as well. The flop came down {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and the small blind checked to Somerville who bet all his big chip, with very little left behind.

The small blind went into the tank for a bit before moving all in, and Somerville called right away.

Somerville: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Short stack: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Small blind: {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Somerville hit runner runner flush to stay alive.

"And that's why I'm the pro!" Somerville laughed, collecting a lot of chips in the process.
