Drinan Takes from O'Dwyer

Level 21 : 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Connor Drinan raised to 240,000 from the button and Steve O'Dwyer called from the big blind to see a {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop. O'Dwyer then check-called a bet of 250,000 before both players checked the {J-Clubs} turn. When the {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river, O'Dwyer checked and then called when Drinan bet 500,000.

Drinan tabled the {k-Spades}{7-Hearts} for jacks and sevens, which prompted O'Dwyer to muck.

A High Five Saves Drinan's Tournament Life

Level 21 : 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Connor Drinan
Connor Drinan

Connor Drinan raised all in for 1.3 million under the gun and Isaac Haxton hit the tank for more than a minute before calling from the button. Both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.

Haxton: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Drinan: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

It was a flip, but not after the flop came down {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Haxton paired his jack and took a commanding lead; in fact, Drinan needed one of the two remaining fives in the deck to stay alive. The {A-Spades} turn wasn't it, but the {5-Hearts} river was.

"Wow," Haxton said while Drinan sat motionless.

Chip Lead Change! Haxton Doubles Through Luca

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Ivan Luca had held the chip lead ever since the tournament got down to the final two tables, but just now he had to give it up to Isaac Haxton.

Haxton moved all in from the button for 1,130,000 and Luca tanked for quite some time before re-shoving from the small blind, getting Steve O'Dwyer to fold.

Haxton: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}
Luca: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

"That's not a good hand to be up against," Haxton said.

The flop brought out {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Haxton said, "But that's a good flop.

On the turn the {Q-Diamonds} hit, and the river was the {9-Clubs} filling up Haxton's straight to create a huge shift in this event. There are still four players remaining but right now it's really anyone's game.

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

In the last hand of the previous level, Ivan Luca opened for 120,000 under the gun and got called by both blinds.

Haxton thought a couple of minutes and checked the information board a couple of times before announcing he was all in for 395,000. Luca snap-folded and Drinan looked pained but called after about a minute.

Drinan: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Haxton: {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Haxton was drawing, but one of his outs arrived as the {3-Clubs} hit the river, completing his flush.
