Zektser Flops a Flush to Finish Off Holloway & Eliminate Jachtmann

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jan-Peter Jachtmann
Jan-Peter Jachtmann

Chad Holloway raised to 21,000, Igor Zektser called and the Jan-Peter Jachtmann shoved for 117,000 from the big blind.

Holloway put in his remaining 74,000 and Zektser thought it over before calling.

Chad Holloway: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Igor Zektser: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"I've got you pipped by one," said Holloway to Zektser.

Zektser smashed the {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Spades} flop to make a flush, and nor the {k-Clubs} turn or {2-Spades} river changed anything as both Holloway and Jachtmann were sent to the rail.

Holloway, wearing a 20th-anniversary 1989 WSOP jacket from the Binion's Horseshoe, showed {9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{x-} and took down the pot.

With 25,000 in the middle on the {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop, the action checked to WSOP bracelet winner Aaron Steury, who bet 12,000.

Stephanie Chung: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-}{10-}
Matt Stout: {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-}{7-}

Williams Crosses the Milly Mark

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
David Williams
David Williams

On the bubble, there was a few hundred thousand already in the middle on the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} turn. WSOP bracelet winner David Williams shoved for 375,000 and his opponent called after a long tank.

David Williams: {9-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Both players had trip nines, but Williams held the better kicker. The river was a blank and Williams got a full double, while his opponent was left with just 3,000 in chips.

"Let's go," shouted Williams as he stood on his chair.

Ibanez Applies the Bubble Pressure

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Johann Ibanez
Johann Ibanez

There was already 85,000 in the middle on the {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} turn when an early position player bet 59,000 and the cutoff called.

The action was on Johann Ibanez who potted it up to 330,000, which appeared to cover both opponents. The early position player was sent deep into the tank.

"Clock," said Ibanez after a few minutes.

The floor counted down and the player mucked, the cutoff folded fairly quickly and Ibanez confidently showed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for two flush draws and a double gutter as he dragged a big pot on the bubble.
