"I'm Due for a Suck Out."

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

An unknown player opened shipped from under the gun for 18,000 and Jarrett Blakeley moved in over the top. The table folded and Blakeley asked if they were at least racing.

Blakeley: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Player: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

"No, but I'm due for a suck out," the player replied.

The board ran {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, the suck out didn't come and Blakeley stacked the pot.

Weissman Eliminated

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Joey Weissman shoved from early position for about 10,000 and saw a player shove for more in the cutoff, about 15,000. The player on the button called, and Weissman was at risk with {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The cutoff had {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and the player on the button {j-Spades}{10-Spades}. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the rest of the board was inconsequential.

Dentale Bounces West

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mike Dentale was in the small blind and considering the all-in shove of Tim West in the big. There was about 10,000 in the pot already and it was 20,300 more to Dentale. he decided to call, and his {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} was good for the moment against {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. A board of {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} was no threat to the sevens.
