McGuinness Sends Opponent Packing

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

A pot of around 22,000 had already accumulated on the river of a {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board, and John McGuinness went all in from early position, committing his last 21,000.

His opponent on the cutoff went deep into the tank, eventually deciding on a call for his tournament life.

The cutoff player saw the bad news, however, when McGuinness tabled {8-Spades}{7-Spades}, good for two pair.

The cutoff mucked his hand and headed for the exit, while McGuinness took in his newly won chips.

Tam Nguyen

The under-the-gun player, with an 18,300 stack, got all of the chips in against Tam Nguyen, on the direct left, preflop, with Nguyen having his opponent covered.

Under the Gun: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Tam Nguyen: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Board: {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Nguyen was in great position to score the knockout the whole way, and his king-queen held up through the runout.

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

With about 18,000 in the pot on the river, and the board showing {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Justin Davis bet 10,000 from the big blind.

He told his opponent, Jennifer Sostak, to save her money, saying he had {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

Sostak, who was under the gun, indeed folded, and David showed the {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the nut flush.
