Connor Drinan Eliminates a Player

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

We got to the table just in time to see Connor Drinan presenting his cards after an all-in situation.

The board was {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Drinan was sliding {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} forward.

"I didn't even see the flush," said the all-in player as he got to his feet.

"I did," replied Drinan stoically as he stacked his chips.

Dan Heimiller Doubles Up

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

Dan Heimiller got all his chips in the middle on a flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} against the player in the big blind, who had the larger of the two stacks.

Heimiller: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Big blind: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Heimiller had the lead with top two pairs, but he needed to dodge his opponent's flush and straight draws in order to double up. The {K-Spades} on the turn gave Heimiller kings full and left his opponent drawing thin, and the {9-Clubs} river ensured that he would take the pot.

Andy Margolis Chips Up Through Loni Harwood

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

With about 8,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Loni Harwood bet 8,000 from middle position and her lone opponent, Andy Margolis, called from the hijack.

The {K-Clubs} fell on the river and both players checked. Harwood tabled {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for aces and eights, but Margolis flipped over {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for aces and kings, and he took the pot
