Thomas Picks Off Burkhalter

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Action was picked up on the river with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

Josh Burkhalter bet 8,000 into a pot of roughly the same size. Brent Thomas called fairly quickly. Burkhalter said ten high in frustration and Thomas rolled over the {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} for the winning hand to take down the pot.

Covert Turns Straight

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

The flop read {9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Mark Covert called the all in of his opponent with the {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} against the {a-}{q-} of the at risk player.

The turn brought home the straight for Covert as the {10-Diamonds} came off and the river upgraded his hand to a flush as the {2-Diamonds} peeled off to eliminate his opponent and give him a nice boost in chips.
