John Spikes Three Ladies to Double

After Tomas Elexhauser raised to 18,000, David John moved all in for 108,000. Elexhauser quickly called when action fell back on him.

Elexhauser: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
John: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The flop was big for John, coming down {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and giving him three queens. He stormed to the front and then improved to a full house when the {10-Diamonds} hit the turn. The river was the {2-Spades} and gave John the double up. He's now back over 200,000 in chips.

Raskin Wins a Huge Race

Michael Binger was in the hijack and raised to 24,000. Micah Raskin called from the cutoff and Robert Reyna then moved all in for 295,000 from the small blind!

Binger folded and action was back on Raskin. He thought for a moment, stared his opponent down, and then called as he turned over {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Reyna flipped {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and was excited about his spot even though he was technically behind. His enthusiam waned a bit when the flop fell {5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. After the {9-Spades} hit the turn, Reyna seemed to go from a feeling of excitement to one of pure dread. With good reason as it turned out as the {10-Clubs} peeled off on the river.

Reyna was eliminated from the tournament while Raskin rocketed up to 1.3 million.

Bryn Kenney and Jacob Toole just played a massive pot worth 1.1 million in chips. Kenney opened to 25,000 and Toole reraised to 67,000. Kenney shoved in for about 550,000 and Toole made the call.

Kenney: {A-}{K-}
Toole: {Q-}{Q-}

The board was a dirty, dirty one. First, the flop came down {9-}{6-}{6-} and Toole's queens stayed in the lead. The turn saw an {A-} hit and everything was looking good for Kenney as he picked up a pair of aces. The river card took everything away when a {Q-} hit and Toole smacked a full house. Kenney was sent to the rail and Toole skyrocketed to about 1.4 million in chips.
