Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michael Machugh opened to 225,000 first-to-act and was called by Caleb Furth in the small blind for a heads-up pot.

Not a single bet went in on the Q♣5♣5♠ flop, J♦ turn, or A♠ river and Furth said, “I’ve got the nut low and there’s no low possible,” prompting Machugh to table A♦Q♥7♦2♣ for aces and queens to scoop the pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andrew Paterson opened to 200,000 from under the gun and was called by Jason Daly in the big blind.

Paterson bet enough to put Daly all in for his remaining chips on the Q♦6♠7♣ flop and Daly called all in to put himself at risk.

Jason Daly: A♥Q♠9♣9♦ All in
Andrew Paterson: A♦K♣8♠5♥

Daly was ahead with his queen, but the K♥ turn pulled Paterson into the lead.

The 6♥ river bricked out for Daly and he was eliminated in ninth place.
