Davis Takes a Chunk From Albritton

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Chris Davis raised to 3,000 from under the gun, only to be met with a three-bet to 7,500 from Ray Albritton next to act. Action folded back to Davis, who called.

Davis checked the {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop over to Albritton, who bet 10,000. Davis called.

Both players checked down the {k-Clubs} turn and {6-Spades} river, and Davis rolled over {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Albritton mucked.

Sam Cittadino

BJ McBrayer raised to 2,400 from the hijack, and Joseph Imarata called in the big blind.

Imarata check-called a bet of 2,400 on the {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop, and both players checked the {2-Spades} turn. The {3-Spades} hit the river, and Imarata checked again. McBrayer bet 4,500, and Imarata folded.

At the same table, the seat that was once occupied by Sam Cittadino was empty, and Elbert "Cincinnati" Campbell looked to be the beneficiary of Cittadino's exit.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Corey Harrison
Corey Harrison

With around 8,000 already in the pot, action checked to Elbert "Cincinnati" Campbell in middle position, who bet 2,000. Corey Harrison called on the button, and John Nidhiry folded in the big blind.

Campbell bet 5,000 on the {5-Hearts} river, and Harrison raised to 16,000. Campbell tossed a single chip in the pot to call, and Harrison rolled over {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the nut flush. Campbell slowly turned over his {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the second nut flush, and paid off the remainder of his debt.

Rockets Propel Albritton To a Double

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player in middle position raised to 2,700, and Ray Albritton three-bet to 8,700 from the small blind. The middle position player four-bet shoved, and Albritton snapped off his last 23,100.

Ray Albritton: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Albritton's aces held on the {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, but the {q-Hearts} turn gave his opponent a Broadway draw. The {k-Diamonds} was a safe card for Albritton, and he doubled up.

McBrayer Takes One, Takes Off

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A pot of 18,000 was already built up when BJ McBrayer jammed his last 15,400 from under the gun facing a {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board. His opponent on the button went into the tank for a few minutes, holding the amount needed to call in his hand, before suddenly kicking his hand to the muck.

Before McBrayer could begin stacking up his chips, a floorperson arrived to move McBrayer to a new table.

"You stole a pot and leave?" Jay Bishop told McBrayer with a grin.
