Morris Sunk By Kings
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
A player raised to 1,000 from middle position, and Mark Morris three-bet to 3,500 from the hijack. Nazim Seferovic four-bet jammed for around 20,000 on the button, and action folded back to Morris, who called off for 11,500 total.
Mark Morris: 
Nazim Seferovic: 
"I got three outs!" Morris noted.
The 
flop saw Morris shout, "Diamond!" in hopes of making a runner-runner flush draw. The 
turn gave him the flush draw, but the 
river left him one diamond short, and he sent the last of his chips to Seferovic.

flop from the big blind, and an early position player bet 1,100. The cutoff called, and Van Keirsbilck check-raised all in for 5,600. The early position player folded, and the cutoff tanked for a minute before making the call.
Mark Van Keirsbilck: 
Opponent: 
Van Keirsbilck's big draw and top pair was ahead of his opponent pair of sevens, and the 
turn and river improved Van Keirsbilck further to a flush, scoring him the double.

The Most Unlikely of Doubles For Everett
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Leo Mitchell has a second wind in today's Day 1c flight thanks to a huge stroke of luck.
As Craig Casino shared with us, Mitchell got his last chips in with 
on a 
board, and ran into .
"I was all the way out of my chair, congratulatin' him!" Mitchell said.
The board had other ideas for Mitchell, however, as two sixes rolled off on the turn and river to give him quads and the double!

Minnerly Busts, Hill More Than Doubles
Level 6
: 200/500, 500 ante
Action checked to Christopher McQuiston on the button on a 
board, and he bet 5,500 into a pot of 10,000. Michael Schlegel folded in the small blind, and Alexander Hill called. Jeffrey Minnerly check-raised all in for 11,500, and McQuiston called. Hill then tossed his last 20,500 total in the pot, and McQuiston tanked for a minute before electing to call.
Jeffrey Minnerly:
Alexander Hill: 
Christopher McQuiston: 
McQuiston needed a six or club to earn the whole pot, while Minnerly needed the case nine to survive. The 
river was safe for Hill, and he scooped both pots, while Minnerly was eliminated.

Cooler River Sends Heath Over 100k
Level 6
: 200/500, 500 ante
A small pot of around 6,000 ballooned significantly after the board was completed. Gerald Heath in the small blind got his last 60,700 in with 
for the nut straight, and his opponent on the button held 
for the smaller straight.
Heath, who recently took down the 2019 MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship in November, is one of the first in the room to hit the six-figure marker, while his opponent was whittled down to just a few thousand in chips.
