Lovelady:
Ginn:

"You've got outs," another player at the table said just before the dealer put down the flop. "Not anymore."

Ginn seemed resigned to his fate, but his brow rose a bit when the turned to give him a bunch of chop outs. The dealer burned and put out the on the river. "I've got a five," Ginn joked before following Tournament Director Christian Vaughn to the payout desk.

Adams and Obst Battle

[user101598]

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

James Obst (Day 2) vaults back into the chip lead

When we arrived at the table, Brandon Adams had what appeared to be a three-bet of 34,000 sitting in front of him. James Obst had just four-bet to 88,000 out of position, and the action was back on Adams. He called.

The dealer fanned , and Obst continued for 82,000. Adams sat stoically for the better part of a minute, then assembled two short stacks of brown T25,000 chips. He added a few yellow T5,000 chips on top, and pushed forward a raise to 245,000.

It was Obst's turn to tank, and no less than 90 seconds later, he assembled a re-raise. With two hands, he pushed forward four towers of yellow T5,000 chips, re-raising to 408,000. Adams sat quietly for half of a minute, then folded.

Lynn Gilmartin spoke with Adams earlier about his interactions with Obst throughout Day 2 and 3, particularly the key hand that saw Adams begin his tourney up the chip counts:

Markholt Makes Quad Kings to Eliminate Vetsavong

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

"All in and a call Table 19," a dealer yelled. We made our way over just in time to capture a part of the action. We're not sure when the money went in, but upon our arrival the dealer had just put out the turn on a board reading . Mark Vetsavong had laid out in front of him, but he was drawing to one out as Lee Markholt held for a full house.

Vetsavong needed to make quads to stay alive, but it's be Markholt who would end up with four of a kind when the peeled off on the river.

Diamonds are Shak's Best Friend

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jan Suchanek opened for 14,000 from the cutoff and Dan Shak, who was checking out the structure for today's $250,000 Challenge on his phone, called from the button. The blinds folded, the dealer made Shak get off the phone, and then it was heads-up action to the flop. Suchanek continued for 16,000, Shak immediately moved all in for 159,000, and Suchanek snap-called.

Suchanek:
Shak:

Shak opted to let it ride on a flush draw, while Suchanek liked top pair with top kicker. The turn actually improved Suchanek to two pair, and all he needed to do was dodge a diamond on the river to eliminate a tough opponent. That's easier said that done when it comes to Mr. Shak, and the river was evidence of that. Shak hit his diamond flush to double up while Suchanek took a big hit to his stack.
