Huntly Doubles Through Speidel with Flush
From under the gun, Josh Barrett min-raised to 16,000. Dennis Huntly was in the cutoff seat and tanked for a little bit when action moved over to him. He then reraised all in for 88,000. In the small blind, Oliver Speidel asked for a count on Huntly's shove, got it and then reraised all in himself. David Steicke folded from the big blind and Barrett ducked out of the way as well.
Huntly tabled the 
, but was behind the 
for Speidel.
"How about a six?" asked Huntly in hope of doubling through.
The flop came down 
and gave Speidel a set of jacks while containing no sixes for Huntly. There was a club flush draw present and Huntly was the only player holding a club.
"How about a club, Dennis?" said Steicke.
The turn was black, but not a club with the 
. The river, though, was a club and it didn't pair the board with the 
. Huntly slapped his hands together in a small celebration of his double and raked in the pot.

flop. Wong stuck in a bet of 62,000 there and another 100,000 on the 
turn with Koon check-calling both bullets.
drew one last check from Koon, and Wong took his cue to bet 225,000 — about half his remaining stack. That was the move that sent Koon deep into the tank, and he would spend maybe four or five minutes of quality time in the tank. Finally, he flicked the call into the pot.
, and aces up earn him that healthy pot. It moves him all the way up around 1.1 million, knocking Koon back under the million-chip mark.
fell and then the 
landed on the turn. Ivey and Wong also checked fourth street to see the 
pair the board on the end. Once again, both checked. Ivey tabled the 
flop to a bet of 24,000 from Nguyen.
and Antonios to act first. He led for 47,000 and Huntly quickly got out of the way. O'Shea was on the button and he popped it to 170,000. Antonios then made it 300,000. O'Shea then thought for only a few moments before shoving his stack all in. O'Shea had Antonios covered and a call from Antonios saw him put his tournament life on the line.
and the river the 
. That turned out to be a very bad thing indeed when big stack Matthew Turk put him to the test with the dominating 
, though, and Lam added, "Or a five," to his list of outs. The river brought the blank 
, though, and he's been unable to get over the hump. Lam's fallen out here in 39th place, and the AU$ 25,000 he'll pocket should be some consolation.
flop Patrick Healy bet 45,000 from the big blind. Yann Dion was in the cut-off and he opted to call. The turn was the 
. "Now that's some real poker", some player at the table said as Healy raked in a big pot.
