Ian Matakis: {a-}{q-}
Mike Shin: {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Shin missed his straight and flush draws when the river bricked and saw his final MSPT tournament of the year come to an end in 35th place for $3,416.

Poitra Doubles Through Koppel

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Chad Poitra open-jammed under the gun for 99,000 and action folded around to Jared Koppel who snap-called from the big blind.

Chad Poitra: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Jared Koppel: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Poitra had Koppel dominated and nothing changed after the {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop.

The {9-Clubs} turn added a gutterball to Koppel's hand but the river fell the {2-Diamonds} securing Poitra's double up, leaving Koppel with 110,000 in which he was eliminated shortly after.

Kim Doubles in Blind Vs Blind Battle

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jonathan Kim
Jonathan Kim

Action on the table folded around to Truman Johnson who limped in from the small blind while Jonathan Kim raised all in from the big and was snap-called.

Jonathan Kim: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Truman Johnson: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Kim didn't like the snap-call but took a sigh of relief once the cards were tabled and he paired his jack on the {j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop.

The {a-Hearts} turn brought more outs to Johnson's hand as any king, queen, or ten would give them a chop.

Luckily for Kim, the river fell a blank with the {2-Diamonds} and he doubled up for 350,000.

Stephen Senger opened with a raise from early position and was called by Rob Wazwaz on the button along with Jeff Petronack from the big blind.

Rob Wazwaz: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Jeff Petronack: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Stephen Senger: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
