Saucier's AA Gets a KO

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

We didn't see the action, but Arthur Saucier got all in with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} against an opponent who was in one of the worst positions possible with {a-}{k-}. Saucier's opponent found hope with a king on the turn when the first four community cards came {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts}, but a {10-Clubs} river ended the player's tournament.

Kenny Milam got there on the turn.

After a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, Larry Green fired 3,700 from middle position. Kenny Milam shoved 13,500 on the button, and Green made the call.

Milam: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Green: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Milam wasted no time pulling ahead with the {q-Spades} turn, but he was far from out of the woods since that gave Green a flush draw. A {6-Hearts} river was a brick, and Milam doubled up.

Renee Kessel hit the rail after a three-outer.

According to "Wild" Bill Romer, he ran his {q-}{q-} into an opponent's {a-}{k-} and lost the race to bust out.

At another table, Renee Kessel moved all in for 9,100 over Arthur Saucier's limp, and Saucier made the call with {k-}{j-}. Kessel had him dominated with {a-}{k-}, but Saucier flopped two pair to knock her out.

Matt Alexander got there on the end.
Matt Alexander got there on the end.

With the community reading {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}, a player bet 2,000 into Matt Alexander, who raised to 4,500. A few more raises later, the two were all in for Alexander's 19,800.

Alexander: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Alexander's recent run of poor luck seemed to be continuing, as his trip tens were no good. He managed to spike the {k-Spades} on the river for a flush though, and he doubled up while leaving his opponent crippled.
