Philachack Doubles Through Myers

We found Andy Philachack all in and at risk before the flop holding {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. He was behind the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} of Kyle Myers and looking for help on the flop.

Philachack found exactly that when he paired his ace on the flop of {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The {5-Spades} turned and the {10-Hearts} rivered, thus securing a double for Philachack. He's now sitting on about 155,000 in chips.

Clements Wakes Up With Queens To Send Echevarria Packing

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer yell from Table 7. We made our way over to discover Ruben Echevarria was all in from the small blind with {K-Spades}{10-Clubs} and behind the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} of Scott Clements in the big blind.

The TV cameras surrounded the table to capture the action, which included the flop coming down {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. It wasn't a great flop for Echevarria, though he did pick up a gutshot straight draw. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, neither the {9-Clubs} turn nor {6-Hearts} river helped him and he was eliminated from the 2013 PCA Main Event.

Benger Takes Some From Bach

David Bach opened to 8,000 in the hijack and Griffin Benger called on the button.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Bach bet 9,500. A call from from Benger landed the {3-Hearts} turn where Bach bet 12,500. Another called from Benger delivered the {8-Hearts} river which both checked.

Bach tabled {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, but was beat by Benger's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.
