McMillan Eliminated by Sendeckyj

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The cards of Dexter McMillan were already in the muck while Dylan Sendeckyj collected the pot and stack of his table neighbor. Sendeckyj had flopped the flush and open-ended straight flush with {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} on {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and the inevitable clash with McMillan followed, as he had flopped top set with queens. Turn and river were both blanks and Sendeckyj scored the knockout.

Gumz Sends Ngu to the Rail

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Fabian Gumz was all smiles with more than two times the starting stack while Jessica Ngu, who had just recently entered, was no longer seated. According to Gumz, he opened from early position to 500 with pocket eights and Ngu flat-called. Gumz continued for 1,000 on the {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop and picket a call, then bet again the {J-Hearts} turn for 2,300 to get called by Ngu.

On the {8-} river, Gumz bet 9,000 and Ngu raised to 23,000 with a few chips behind. Gumz jammed with his quads and Ngu called with pocket jacks for a full house to bust in dramatic fashion.
