Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Sovann Pen limped in from middle position and Adam Nattress limped along in the cutoff. Lewis Brant completed the small blind and Todd Dakake checked his option.

Dakake bet on the 7♥4♦3♠ flop and Pen raised. Both Nattress and Brant quickly folded, and Dakake called. On the 5♦ turn, Dakake bet again, Pen raised and Dakake went all in with his final chips.

Todd Dakake: 8♦8♠6♥5♥ All in
Sovann Pen: A♠J♦4♥4♠

Dakake had hit a fantastic turn to make a straight but had to watch in agony as the 7♣ fell on the river, giving Pen a full house alongside his 7-5-4-3-A low. Dakake received $20,640 for his deep run.

After getting scooped by Pearce Arnold earlier, John Dakake lost another pot to put him firmly in the red zone. Dakake limped in from under the gun and called a raise from James Chen in the small blind.

Chen bet the A♠K♠10♠ flop and Dakake called. Both players checked the 7♥ turn. Chen bet again on the A♦ river and Dakake called.

Chen quickly flashed the A♥7♠ for the boat, followed by 9♣2♣. Dakake flashed the A♣, followed by 6♦4♣2♠ and slammed them into the muck.
