Mack Flops A Monster

Mack raised to 310,000 from the button, and Calenzo tagged along. The flop came {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, and both players check. The turn brought the {9-Spades}, and Calenzo check called a bet of 360,000. The {3-Hearts} hit the river, and Calenzo checked to Mack, who bet out 900,000. Calenzo folded, and Mack shook his head, and showed {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} for a flopped boat.

Calenzo Takes A Million Off Mack

Calenzo raised to 310,000 on the button, and Mack made the call. The dealer fanned out a flop of {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and both players checked. The turn came the {2-Hearts}, and Mack bet out 360,000. Calenzo called, and the river brought the {j-Spades}. Mack bet out again, this time 540,000, and Calenzo called again. Mack announced "king high", and Calenzo tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for jacks and nines. With that pot, Calenzo is back over 5 million, and is mounting a comeback in this heads up battle.

Sean Getzwiller Eliminated in 3rd Place ($89,617)

Ian Mack raised to 260,000 on the button. Kevin Calenzo folded, and Sean Getzwiller moved all in for 1.05 million more. Once Mack got a count, he thought for about a minute before calling. The cards were flipped, and Getzwiller was in great shape to double up.

Getzwiller: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Mack: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Once Mack saw the trouble he was in, he began to slide the chips over to Getzwiller, who joked "the hand isn't over yet!" It was almost as if Getzwiller was foretelling his fate, as Mack flopped trips, coming {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The {6-Clubs} on the turn sealed the fate, and the meaningless river was the {9-Clubs}. Getzwiller will collect nearly $90,000, and Mack and Calenzo are now heads up.
