Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Greg Mullen
Greg Mullen

The action started when a player in early position shoved for around 50,000. A player in middle position also shoved for 90,000. Action folded around to the small blind, who announced he was also all in for over 100k. Greg Mullen immediately also announced he was all in from the big blind, having everyone covered.

Greg Mullen: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Early position: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Middle position: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Small blind: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Mullen was ahead with his cowboys, and the {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop all but sealed his victory.

The {4-Clubs} turn and {9-Diamonds} river left Mullen with a full house and he scooped the massive pot late in the day.

Chow Calls Down Correctly

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Chow

Three ways on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, the player in the big blind led out for 11,000 and the player under-the-gun folded. Nick Chow called from the cutoff.

The {7-Clubs} fell on the turn and the big blind bet once more — this time for 25,000. Chow again called.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Chow's opponent fired a final time for 50,000. Chow called and his opponent showed {4-}{4-} for a counterfeited pair. Chow revealed {k-Spades}{9-Clubs} for nines and sevens, which was good enough to scoop the pot.

The {8-Spades} completed the board and the small blind checked again. Arthurs fired 25,000 into the middle and the player in the small blind let her hand go.

Arthurs showed he held {a-}{j-} for a straight as he collected the pot.
