Assouline: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Van Sanford: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Assouline out-flopped Van Sanford by hitting two pair. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river was the {2-Hearts} to send Van Sanford to the rail.

Turn Card Kills the Action

Level 4 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With around 300,000 in the pot already, three players saw a flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. The action checked to Luigi Knoppers on the button who bet 90,000. Andrew Graham called in middle position as did Francis Collins in the hijack.

The turn was the {a-Clubs} which slowed the action as all three players knuckled the table. The river brought the {a-Hearts} and the action checked around again. Graham showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Collins mucked, and Knoppers tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to drag in the pot.
