Lewis Gets Four-Flushed

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After a raise to 28,000 from under the gun, Marc Perrault just flat-called on the button. Toby Lewis was in the big blind and moved all in for 182,000. The initial raiser folded and Perrault made a relatively quick call to put Lewis at risk.

Marc Perrault: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Toby Lewis: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Lewis was in a great position to more than double his stack and the flop of {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} was not much for him to worry about. However, the {3-Spades} on the turn gave Perrault a flush draw and sure enough, the {q-Spades} on the river completed his flush.

Colillas Sends Garcia to the Rail

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Esteban Garcia was all in and at risk for 147,000 and Ramon Colillas looked him up.

Garcia flipped over {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and was in need of help, as Colillas had him dominated with the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. The board ran out {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and that spelled the end for Garcia.

Bill Perkins

Before the bubble, Bill Perkins had doubled through Max Greenwood and the duo clashed once more to create the following showdown:

Bill Perkins: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Max Greenwood: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board came {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to give Greenwood the nutflush and Perkins snapped a quick picture of the hands and board for his Twitter competition before leaving the table with a "thanks guys" and a smile on the face.

Jattin Folds to One Ship, Calls Another

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ryan Riess opened for 25,000 under the gun, Farid Jattin made it 84,000 in the cutoff, and Riess came back with an all-in shove for a little under 400,000. Jattin folded right away.

A little after that, Daniel Wilson jammed for 94,000 and Jattin called with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. He was racing against {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} but the flip went Wilson's way as he flopped a king and turned an ace for good measure.

Knoppers Among the Big Stacks

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Several racks full of chips arrived over on table one and it was Dutchman Luigi Knoppers who carried them over. Knoppers then stacked them properly for more than 1.4 million and was kind enough to provide the details.

According to Knoppers, he raised the cutoff to 26,000 with {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and the player on the button three-bet to 75,000, Knoppers called. On the {Q-}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Knoppers check-raised from 70,000 to 190,000 and called the shove of his opponent to get shown {J-}{9-}. Another heart followed on the turn to lock up the big pot for Knoppers.

Taylor Black busted out jamming {7-}{6-} against the {9-}{8-} of Brandon Adams blind versus blind. It looked like the chips went in postflop on {a-}{8-}{4-}, with Black being short and bricking out.

At a neighboring table, Russell Crane sent Sean Winter packing with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} against {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Winter sent over his 100,000 or so.
