Matas Cimbolas
Matas Cimbolas

Matas Cimbolas raised in early position to 800,000 and Nick Yunis made the call next to act.

On the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop, Cimbolas checked and Yunis threw in a 100,000 valued chip, which was all Cimbolas had behind and he called.

Matas Cimbolas: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Nick Yunis: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Both players had a gutshot straight draw but Yunis was ahead with ace-high. The {k-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river didn't improve either hand and Cimbolas was eliminated in seventh place.

Run Good Strikes Again

Level 31 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
John Gallaher
John Gallaher

Jun Obara raised all in from the button, Tuan Phan folded his small blind and action was on John "Johnny Run Good" Gallaher who looked down at his cards, paused, then called off his 2,025,000 stack from the big blind.

John Gallaher: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Jun Obara: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Gallaher was ahead until the {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop hit the felt pairing Obara's seven while giving him a gutshot straight draw.

The {4-Diamonds} turn wasn't a good sight for Gallaher as not only did it complete Obara's straight, it also gave him a straight flush draw.

Gallaher was drawing slim as the only card that could save him was a none-diamond nine.

Luckily for him, he didn't get the knick-name "Johnny Run Good" for no reason as the dealer completed the board with the {9-Spades} on the river and secured his double-up.
