Dugan Flops the World but Hits the Rail

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Arri Stone is all smiles
Arri Stone is all smiles

"All in and a call" said the dealer at table 2-7. We got to the table and Bobby Dugan was all in and at risk on a flop of {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} against Arri Stone. Dugan turned over the nuts with the nut redraw with {9-Spades}{7-Spades}. He wasn't out of the woods yet, however, as Stone had flopped a set with his {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

The turn would give Stone a full house as it was the {8-Hearts} and now Dugan was drawing to two cards, the {10-Spades} or the {5-Spades}. The river was the {K-Hearts} though and that would be the end of the road for Dugan.

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Gregg Fund

Steve Trizis opened for a raise and Gregg Fund called out of the big blind. All the chips would go in the middle on the {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop and Trizis would be in trouble with his {A-}{A-} as Fund had flopped bottom two pair with {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The turn was the {3-Spades} and the river was the {4-Spades} and Fund had Trizis just covered to send him out just short of the money.

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Chris Swanson
Chris Swanson

We got to the table and all the chips were in the middle on a flop of {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} with Chris Swanson being slightly covered by his opponent Song O. It was a 670,000 chip pot and the cards were turned face up:

Swanson: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
O: {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Song O had been coolered flopping two pair, kings and nines, only to run into a bigger two pair as Swanson had kings and queens. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river was the {10-Clubs} and O was crippled down to 40,000 in chips while Swanson moved up to 670,000.

Danny Lobato is continuing his late night rush as he has just cracked the pocket aces of Eugene Stone with kings when a king hit the flop. That would be the end of the day for Stone and Lobato added to his chip lead as he sits now with 650,000.

Alexi Hernandez
Alexi Hernandez

We didn't catch the action but Alexi Hernandez was stacking a pile of chips sent to him courtesy of Robert Harwell. Harwell had {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Hernandez {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} with a board run out of {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Harwell would be eliminated a few hands later while Hernandez moved up to 245,000 in chips.

At a nearby table, PPC Team Pro Chris Bolek was eliminated when his {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} was unable to outdraw the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} of Bobby Dugan when the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.
