John Riordan

The cards were already on their backs and Michael Holtz was sending half his stack to his left to John Riordan.

The board was showing {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Riordan held a flush with {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The top two pair {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} of Holtz were sent to the muck and Riordan gained some ground.

Weirich Makes A Straight Flush

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

John Weirich raised to 60,000 in first position and from late position, Phil Hui three-bet to 150,000. On the button, Paul Fehlig called which saw the action fold back around to Weirich who moved all in for 260,000 and Hui called. Fehlig moved all in and Hui snap-folded saying "I knew you had aces."

John Weirich: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Paul Fehlig: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Spades} and Weirich got up from the table about to leave, but then somebody said "you have a straight flush," and he sat back down to get a full triple up from his queen-high straight flush.

Lars Nickolai: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Set Over Set Confrontation

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with Shane Nardiello in first position and Charles Coultas on the button.

The board read {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Nardiello bet 65,000 which Coultas called.

The river rolled off the {5-Diamonds} and Nardiello sized up to 100,000, which Coultas thought about briefly before calling.

Nardiello turned over {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens, but Coultas turned over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a set of kings which was good to scoop the pot.
