Howe Eliminates Sanders

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Dan Howe checked a final board of {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} from the small blind and saw Adam Sanders bet 26,000 from early position. Howe moved all in for roughly 60,000 more effective, and Sanders thought about 90 seconds and called it off. Howe showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush, and Sanders flashed what looked like aces and mucked.

Aguilera Gets a Lucky Double

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Nick Aguilera shoved all in from the big blind for 51,500 on a {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and got snap-called by David Johnston.

Johnston: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Aguilera: {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Aguilera needed help with second pair against top. The {10-Spades} gave him a straight draw, and the {j-Spades} was good for two pair and a double on the river.
