Ochana Finds Three-Outer

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Pupillo opened under the gun and Eddie Ochana jammed on his left for 26,500. Action folded to the small blind and the player there ripped to fold out everyone left in the pot.

Eddie Ochana: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Ochana was in trouble but not after {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flopped. The {8-Hearts} and {6-Diamonds} were bricks and Ochana collected a lucky double.

Heidbrick Loses Track of the Clock

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Pupillo opened for 7,000 under the gun, Shawn Roberts called on the button and the small blind jammed for 11,500. Big blind Amanda Heidbrick asked if action was still open and was told yes. She moved all in after some thought for about 60,000. Pupillo mucked but Roberts quickly called.

Shawn Roberts: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Small blind: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Amanda Heidbrick: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Heidbrick celebrated flopping two pair briefly as {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts} arrived but then realized Roberts had flopped a straight. The {9-Diamonds} was a brick but the {k-Spades} river gave her a full house.

"Well I couldn't just call," she reasoned. "And I only had 16 minutes left."

Someone pointed out there was still another level to go.

"Whoops," she said with a laugh.

Whittington and Miles Both Show

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Blake Whittington
Blake Whittington

On a completed board of {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, Blake Whittington had bet 77,000 from the small blind into a pot that looked like it contained about 190,000. TK Miles was tanking under the gun.

"You have to have it," he said out loud.

He continued to mutter that under his breath as he tanked for a couple of minutes and then announced a fold after asking if Whittington would show. Miles turned over {8-Spades}{7-Spades}.

"I have the best hand?" he asked.

"No," Whittington responded, smiling. "I'll show you."

"So sick."

Whittington showed: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Shiller Wakes Up With Blades

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player moved in for about 50,000 in middle position and Keven Stammen tanked awhile on his left and mucked. Action folded to Brendan Shiller in the small blind and he jammed to fold out the big blind.

"Terrible fold, sir," Shiller said to Stammen, showing {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

Stammen said he had fives.

The all-in player showed {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Shiller scooped the pot. He's sitting right around 500K and has a chance to bag the overall lead.

Ochana Doubles Before Buzzer

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Eddie Ochana jammed under the gun for 58,500 and action folded a couple of seats over. The player there drew a deep breath and moved all in after about 30 seconds. Everyone else folded.

Eddie Ochana: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop made Ochana's opponent swear under his breath and the {4-Spades} had him calling for a last-ditch six to salvage a chop. Instead, it was a {q-Clubs} falling to secure the double.

Every table is in the midst of dealing its final six hands.
