Wilson Folds to Brown's Pressure

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

David Brown bet 2,400 on a {5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} flop and was called by Greg Wilson. He kept coming with 5,000 on the {j-Diamonds} turn and was again called. On the {9-Hearts} river, Brown upped the stakes considerably to 15,000. Wilson folded this time.

Players are on a 10-minute break, and green T25 chips are being raced off by the tournament staff.

Sudduth, Crain Win Flips

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dale Sudduth got all in with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} before the flop, putting a shorter stack who held {k-Spades}{q-Spades} at risk. An {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop looked solid from Sudduth's opponent's point of view, but a {6-Hearts} turn gave Sudduth a straight, meaning only a spade would kill his hand. A black card arrived, but it was the {6-Clubs}.

At another table, Eric Crain said he won a race with {a-}{q-} by hitting a queen on the river against a player holding {j-}{j-}.

Greg Wilson called a bet of 2,000 from an opponent in a heads-up pot on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. After unknown turn action, the {a-Clubs} and {j-Spades} had arrived on fourth and fifth streets, and Wilson's opponent shoved all in for about 15,000. Wilson snap-called, turning over {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a full house.

"Which part of that board did you like?" Eric Crain asked him.

Lucky Turn Powers Vang

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kou Vang just busted a shorter-stacked player when the two got all in on a flop of {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Vang was way behind with {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against {k-Spades}{q-Spades}, but a {9-Clubs} turn gave him the two pair he needed. The {7-Diamonds} river preserved Vang's lead, and the newly sponsored Minnesotan is nearing 100,000.

Kamuf Doubles Through Crain

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Roger Kamuf held of Eric Crain's flush draw.
Roger Kamuf held of Eric Crain's flush draw.

We found Eric Crain splashing in enough chips to call the all in of Roger Kamuf, who had shoved for about 23,000 on a board of {4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Crain: {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Kamuf: {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Crain no doubt hoped he had some outs beyond his flush draw, but both his gutshot and his pair were useless against Kamuf's straight. The {9-Spades} didn't fill Crain's flush draw on the river.
