The board read x-K-10-J-x and both Lodden and his opponent checked the river.
At the showdown, Lodden's opponent turned over A-Q for a Broadway straight, while Lodden showed K-Q, for top pair and a busted straight draw.
The dealer mucked the A-Q and pushed the pot to Lodden, then proceeded to start shuffling the next hand. Players at the table called for the floor, who eventually ruled that Lodden must return the 23,600 pot to his opponent.
We should also note that there was a possible flush on the board, making Lodden's opponent's check on the river a legitimate one. A recently implemented rule here at the World Series states that if a player has last action and checks the absolute nuts, he would receive a one-round penalty for collusion.
. The big blind led out for 10,000 and Awada pondered for a while. Finally Awada said "Oh well . . . it's getting late and I hate to play this late" and raised all in for 24,700 more. The big blind called and "Gentle" Joe showed 
which was in bad shape against the big blind's 
. The turn and river missed Awada completely and he was eliminated.
. The blinds check and Tran bets 12,000. The button calls and the blinds pass. It's heads up to the turn. The turn card comes the 
. Tran moves all in and the button insta-calls. Tran shows 
, but he's drawing dead to the 
of his opponent.
Vos made it 2,500 to go from the cutoff and the lone caller was the small blind.
The flop came 8-7-5 with two spades. The small blind checked to Vos who made it 4,000 to go. The small blind, who had Vos covered, moved all-in and Vos made the call.
The small blind showed
for the nut flush draw, and Vos turned over 
for top pair. Vos dodged his opponent's outs on the turn, but the 
fell on the river, which completed his opponent's flush and ended his tournament run.
, Brandon Adams bet about 40K, considerably more than the size of the pot. His opponent made the call and Adams showed 
for the rivered flush. His opponent mucked and Adams is now in command of a chip stack of 100,000.
