Patti Cracks Anderson's Kings
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
After limps from the cutoff, button and small blind, Steve Anderson raised to 1,200 in the big blind which got calls from the late position players.
The flop came J♠7♠2♦ and Anderson continued for 5,000, which only got a call from Phil Patti on the button.
After the 5♠ fell on the turn, Anderson moved all in for 21,000 and got called by Patti who was slightly covered.
Phil Patti: A♠10♠
Steve Anderson: K♠K♦
Patti had turned the nut flush, leaving Anderson drawing dead with his lone K♠.
After the stacks were counted down, Anderson was left with just 2,500 chips, while Patti had earned a sizable double-up.

Pierce Ousts Jenne With Flush Over Flush
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
With about 10,000 in the middle on a board of J♠10♠7♠7♦, a pair of red T-5,000 chips were in front of Dena Jenne.
James Pierce then moved all in for about 30,000, covering Jenne.
She called to put herself at risk.
Dena Jenne: 4♠2♠
James Pierce: A♠Q♠
Pierce's nut flush had coolered Jenne's baby flush, sending her to the rail after the inconsequential 3♦ river.
