Dennis Parker - {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} / {9-Spades}
Buchman - {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} / {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} / {x-}

The two got all the chips in on fifth street, and going to seventh Buchman needed a queen for trips. He didn't catch one however, mucked his hand, and Parker doubled to 140,000 chips.

Clock Paused

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

We are having problems with the automatic shuffler, so the clock has been paused momentarily to replace it. Cards will be back in the air momentarily.

Isaia Gets There

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Alessio Isaia - {x-}{x-} / {6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} / {x-}
Eric Buchman - {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {x-}

Buchman brought in with the {2-Spades} showing, Eugene Katchalov completed, and Isaia raised with the {6-Clubs} up. Buchman then re-raised, Katchalov folded, and Isaia called. Isaia led on fourth, Buchman called, and then on fifth and sixth Isaia check-called a bet from Buchman.

Isaia checked dark on seventh, Buchman bet, and Isaia raised. Buchman called, and unhappily mucked when Isaia opened up a {j-Clubs} and another club for a club-flush. Buchman dropped to 500,000 chips, while Isaia jumped up to 345,000.

Kai Landry completed with the {2-Spades} showing, and Jonathan Spinks raised with the {q-Clubs}. The two got all the chips in the middle, and here's how the hands looked after seventh:

Landry - {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} / {2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{a-Diamonds} / {8-Spades}
Spinks - {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} / {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts} / {k-Clubs}

Both players had two pair, but Landry's aces and eights were best, and he doubled to 75,000 chips.
