Breuer Continues to Grow

A player moved all in for the rest of their chips and Lloyd Breuer called, putting his opponent at risk of elimination.

Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Schiavo Sends One Home, Drops Barnes Down to Starting

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Three players moved all in, Arthur Schiavo and Brittney Barnes included. The third opponent went in as the short-stack as the three flipped over their cards.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Arthur Schiavo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Brittney Barnes: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop came down {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Barnes needed to hit or she would lose both the main and side pot. A {j-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn, giving Barnes the lead but both of her opponents picked up a flush draw.

The river came down an unlikely {10-Diamonds}, giving both players holding big slick a flush with Schiavo having the higher of the two. Schiavo doubled through Barnes and sent one player out the door in the process of doing so.
