Hartwick Flops Huge, Busts Chien

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On the river of a {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board, Gregory Hartiwck asked how much his heads-up opponent, Peter Chien, had remaining. Chien lifted his hand, revealing just over 16,000.

Hartwick fired out a bet of 20,000 and Chien went into the tank. After a moment, Chien slid his stack forward and Hartwick showed him the bad news, tabling {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for the second nuts. Chien mucked and departed from the tournament floor.

Sick Cooler Costs Kerr

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The sickest of coolers has sent Steven Kerr to the rail after he ran pocket kings into Paul Scott's pocket aces.

All the chips went in preflop and unfortunately, for Kerr, the board ran out clean and Scott raked in another pot, adding ammo to his already top-stack.
