Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A completed board of A♦5♠5♦7♠A♥ was spread across the felt with around 300,000 in the middle. Carl Shaw checked from the big blind and Joshua Mammen slid out a bet of 200,000 in the cutoff.

"Really?" Shaw questioned as he leaned back in his chair. "You have an ace?"

A few moments had passed and Mammen started some table talk of his own. "I could have a flush draw," he hinted, which got a chuckle from Shaw who then quickly folded.

"I have neither," Mammen continued as he turned over K♠Q♥ for complete air.

"Wow! That's savage," one player at the table chimed in as the rest of the table gasped.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Cherish Andrews opened to 12,000 in middle position and Chance Kornuth, who just recently arrived at the table, three-bet to 34,000 a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Andrews who called to see a flop of K♣8♣2♣.

Andrews checked to Kornuth who continued with a bet of 10,000. Andrews check-raised to 30,000 and Kornuth called to see the 8♥ on the turn. Andrews led out with another bet of 30,000 and Kornuth just called.

The river was the A♦ and Andrews slid out a bet of 89,000, leaving just 1,000 behind. Kornuth announced a raise to 200,000 and Andrews called off her last chip. Kornuth flipped over K♠K♥ for a full house but Andrews held 8♠8♦ for quads to double up.

"That's what we teach," Kornuth joked as both players are part of the Chip Leader Coaching squad.
