Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Sean Winter on the button who limped in, before Nick Schulman raised all in for his stack of 143,000. The big blind folded, and Winter used one time bank before saying "You're a nice guy" and stuck in the chips to call.

Nick Schulman: Q♥Q♣ All in
Sean Winter: K♦10♣

Winter ran into the pocket queens of Schulman, but he managed to pick up extra outs after the 9♣J♣5♦ flop in the form of a straight draw. However, those outs disappeared after the J♠ on the turn, and the river brought the Q♦ which did give Winter a straight, but Schulman improved to a full house queens full of jacks to double up.

Sean Winter	475,000 55,000	55,000

Nick Becker

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, Elias Gutierrez called in the small blind, and Dan Shak defended in the big blind.

The flop of 2♣8♦K♦ checked through to the 4♦ turn, where all three players checked again.

The river landed the 8♠ and Gutierrez led out with a bet of 50,000. Shak folded and Ausmus raised to 141,000, leaving himself with just 1,000 behind.

Gutierrez thought for a moment, eventually making the call and tabling 10♥8♥ for three of a kind, eights. Ausmus turned over 8♣7♣ for three of a kind, eights with a worse kicker.
