Gavin Gets Some of Somerville's Chips

Shamus

We just caught a hand over at the secondary feature table involving Gavin Smith and Jason Somerville. Access is a bit limited, though it appeared the pair got all of Smith's stack of 640,000 or so in the middle following a {9-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop. Smith had {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} while Somerville had {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for a flush draw.

The {Q-Hearts} turn gave Somerville more ways to catch Smith, but the river was the {5-Hearts} , and Smith doubled up.

Keranen Eliminates Clark in Last Hand of Level 21

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

In the last hand before the break, Charles Clark got his stack of 325,000 all in on a flop of {3-Spades} {J-Spades} {4-Diamonds} and was at risk against Kyle Keranen.

Showdown

Keranen
Clark

Clark was out in front with his pocket sixes, and stayed there on the {3-Clubs} turn. Unfortunately for him, and much to Keranen's delight, the {A-Spades} spiked on the river to put an end to Clark's day just shy of Level 22.

Mizzi Makes a Million

Chad Holloway

With around 115,000 in the pot and a flop of {4-Spades} {6-Clubs} {J-Clubs} , Jamie Robbins checked and watched Sorel Mizzi bet 37,000. Robbins then woke up with a check-raised to 85,000, and called when Mizzi moved all in for 458,000.

Showdown
Robbins: {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Mizzi: {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

Robbins was ahead with top pair, but Mizzi held a flush draw. The {10-Hearts} turn was not a club, but it did give Mizzi more outs. Even so, he was out of his seat and prepared to make a hasty exit as the dealer burned and put out the {8-Clubs} .

"Wow," Mizzi said quietly as he sat back down.

"I folded two clubs," John Phan said from across the table.

"Thanks for not telling me," Mizzi said as he raked in the pot, which put him right around one million.

Phahurat Finished

[user101598]

AP Phahurat was all in and at risk holding {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} , and he was racing against the {a-Clubs} {k-Clubs} of Tomas Samol.

Phahurat
Samol

The {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {10-Clubs} flop gave Samol a flush draw, and he made his flush when the {4-Clubs} turned.

"Good game everybody," Phahurat told his opponents. Then, in the middle of a handshake with Samol, he announced, "Oh, I have outs."

The {7-Diamonds} on the river did not give him a full house however, and he was eliminated.

Soverel Over King

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Shamus

Lasell King and Sam Soverel had already built a sizable pot by the time the flop came {7-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} . King led for 182,000, and Soverel sat quietly for a few moments before calling. The turn was the {8-Spades} and King quickly checked. Soverel asked King what he had left behind — about 750,000 — then checked as well.

The river brought the {A-Hearts} and checks from both. Soverel showed his hand — {J-Spades} {10-Spades} — and King nodded and pushed his to the dealer.
