Binkage

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

After series of bets and raises on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}, four players were all in, including Harold Duffey and Timothy D'Alessandro.

Duffey: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
D'Alessandro: {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}
Opponent 2: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

D'Alessandro and Duffey both flopped straights, but Duffey's was higher. D'Alessandro's luck turned around when the turn and river came {6-Diamonds}, {4-Spades} respectively, giving him a full house, and he took down half of the pot to push his stack to 60,000.

Duffey plummeted to 21,000.

Barringer Busts

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Wilfredo Divio led for a sizable bet on a flop of {10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, Sean Barringer called, and the rest of Barringer's money went in after the turn was the {3-Clubs}.

Divio: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Barringer: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Barringer was drawing to a heart or a deuce to stay alive, but the river was a repeat three - the {3-Diamonds} - and he was eliminated. Divio is up to 200,000 chips.

Filippi Gets His Wish

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Amnon Filippi
Amnon Filippi

Amnon Filippi called a pot-sized raise preflop from an opponent, then an all-in bet on a flop of {j-Spades}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

Filippi: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

"I just need a ten," Filippi asked.

Ask and you shall receive - the turn was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Filippi a straight. The player needed a nine or an ace to fill up, but the {4-Spades} bricked off on the river.

Filippi is now up to 270,000 chips.
