Huge Flop Hits Everyone, but "Bones" Ends up on Top

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Casey Diener
Casey Diener

Action picks up on the flop when Casey "Bones" Diener bet about 7,000 into about a 20,000 chip pot. Community cards were {q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} Tomas Cruz went all in for 6,800. Jason Postenreider also went all in behind him for 18,600.

Diener called immediately when it got back to him and showed his {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for top-two pair in the three-way all-in pot. Cruz had {10-Spades}{j-Spades} for the open-ended straight draw while Postenreider had {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the nut-flush draw.

Drama was immediately squashed when the turn came the {q-Clubs} to give Diener the unbeatable full house. The {j-Hearts} river just added salt into the wound of Postenreider.

"Get out of here," said Postenreider. But he and Cruz were the ones leaving while Diener scooped the big pot.

Brad Owen's Last Stand Comes with Only One Jiggity

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Brad Owen
Brad Owen

Brad Owen was getting short and needed to make a move. He decided to go all in for about 7,000 which was just under 10 big blinds, but it didn't get through. Mirza Nagji isolated with a raise of his own to 18,000 and the two saw a flop heads up.

Owen had {j-}{7-} for half of his infamous "Jiggities." Nagji had him in rough shape, though, when he showed the {7-}{7-} of his own.

The board ran out clean and Owen was eliminated from the event.

Barrell Finds Quads in Three-Way All In

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Mason Barrell
Mason Barrell

Action picks up preflop with three players going all in. Ari Katz had the other two players covered, so Hunter Cichy and Mason Barrell were both at risk.

Cichy flipped over {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, Katz had {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, and Barrell showed {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

No paint was to be found on the flop, but Barrell all but locked up the pot on the first three cards when they came out {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}. As if he needed more, Barrell turned the {6-Hearts} for quads and the overkill win.

Cichy was eliminated and Barrell's stack was back to healthy thanks to a well-timed four-of-a-kind.
