Vergnetti Dodges Royal Flush, Takes Out Two

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

A three way pre-flop all in was in progress as Christopher Vergnetti found himself in a great spot as he held {a-}{q-} against two players who held {k-}{q-} and {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

The flop gave one of his opponents a royal flush draw as it came {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}. But the turn {4-Diamonds} and the river {a-Diamonds} would extinguish all hope for the royal or the flush and Vergnetti's hand held to eliminate two opponents in one fell swoop.

Choi's Turn Shove Forces Out Thomas

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

With a board that read {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} Daniel Choi moved all in for a smidge over 20,000 into a pot of about 25,000. Bill Thomas thought for a few moments, looking undecided. Eventually he gave up us his cards and raised his hands as if to say "Not going to deal with this" to allow Choi to pull in the good size pot.

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jordan Ghrist found himself all in on a board that read {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, his hand was turned over to reveal a set as he held the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. His opponent Vincent Kooijman's hand was quickly whisked away into the muck as the losing hand once the {k-Diamonds} fell on the river to give Ghrist the double up.
