Ladies Good for Hickey
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a heads-up board reading 6♠4♣J♣2♠, Michael Arellano bet 8,000 and was then raised to 21,000 by Jason Hickey.
When the river came out the 8♣, Arellano bombed it for 44,000 and Hickey went into the tank.
After around thirty seconds, he shrugged and set out the chips.
"Good call," Arellano sighed as he flipped over a busted straight draw that left him with a pair of eights while Hickey tabled Q♣Q♥ to take down the pot.
"I like the bet though," Hickey reassured Arellano, "If I don't have a club in my hand I fold."

Williams Spikes Queen, Devitt Exits
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Raj Kumar, William Devitt, and Dedric Williams got all of their chips into the middle, with Devitt covering.
Raj Kumar: A♠K♦
Dedric Williams: Q♦Q♠
William Devitt: A♦A♥
Devitt was in prime position to score two knockouts with his rockets, but the deck had other plans as the board ran out 5♣9♥J♦Q♥K♣ to give Williams the saving queen on the turn. He was then pushed the substantial pot while Kumar was eliminated and Devitt was left short.
Devitt then moved all in the very next hand with 8♣5♣ but could not find a double against the A♠Q♦ of Richard Spooner.

Trips for Thibodaux
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a heads-up turn of J♠10♠J♥5♥, there was already around 27,500 when Sang Ngo led for 6,000 and was raised to 14,200 by Joshua Thibodaux. After some thought, Ngo re-raised to 31,000 and Thibodaux moved all in for a little more, which Ngo quickly called.
"I just have a jack," Thibodaux said as he tabled Q♦J♦ for trip jacks while Ngo flipped over 9♥9♣, needing to improve.
The river came the blank 2♥ and the pot was pushed over to Thibodaux for a full double.
