Brian Hewitt Goes Runner Runner to Win a Flip

After Brian Hewitt open-shoved before the flop, making it 13,400 to play, Matt Matros checked his cards and shrugged before calling off with {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

When Hewitt tabled {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Matros said "alright another flip... flip number three."

The flop came out {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} Matros pocket deuces had survived so far. When the dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}, Matros remarked on the fact that Hewitt's chances had just improved dramatically, as he now held a four-flush in addition to overcards and board pair possibilities.

River: {5-Clubs}

The fifth club sent the pot to Hewitt, and combined with his late arrival to the day's proceedings, his recent double-up means the players are still on their first game of the match.

Guagenti and Stiers to the Rubber Match

Nick Guagenti Playing Heads-Up Against Joseph Stiers

Nick Guagenti just check-raised to 2,650 after Joseph Stiers bet 900 on a board of {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Stiers made the call, and the river was a {6-Hearts}. Guagenti fired 6,300, and Stiers thought for a bit before putting him all in for about double that. Guagenti made the call, and Stiers showed {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the nut flush.

The match is now tied 1-1, not 2-0, as we incorrectly reported an earlier hand as an all-in victory for Stiers when it was Guagenti who took the first game.
