Dave Gonia Takes a Big One from Rex Clinkscales

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Rex Clinkscales raised to 11,500 in the hijack and Dave Gonia called on the button.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Clinkscales check-called a bet of 16,000 from Gonia.

The turn was the {k-Hearts}. Again, Clinkscales check-called a bet of 24,000.

The river came the {2-Clubs}. Clinkscales checked, Gonia bet 80,000, and Clinkscales went into the tank. After four minutes of thinking and counting out his chips, Clinkscales folded.

Gonia is now sitting with about 300,000 in chips.

Matt Morfitt opened to 9,000 from under the gun. Allen Kessler shoved all in from the hijack, Craig Casino called for less on the button, and Ken Auker called in the small blind.

With action back on Morfitt, he reshoved all in for 75,000, and Auker called.

Morfitt: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Kessler: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Casino: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Auker: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Morfitt quadrupled up, and both Kessler and Casino were eliminated from Day 2.

Phil Mader Doubles Through Angelina Rich

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Angelina Rich raised to 8,000 in middle position, and Phil Mader shoved all in. With action back on Rich, she asked for a count. After hearing the 75,000 total, she thought for a moment, sat back in her chair, and eventually called.

Rich: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Mader: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, giving Mader the full double.

Chopped Pot for Josh Reichard and Shane Nelson

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Josh Reichard raised to 6,500 and Shane Nelson shoved all in. Reichard called.

Reichard: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Nelson: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Reichard said, "chop outs." Perhaps it was a prediction, because the turn came the {8-Hearts} and the river the {8-Spades}, resulting in a chopped pot for both players.
