Hanley Over a Million

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ryan Meyer raised to 18,000 from middle position, and Valerie Hanley called in the cutoff.

Meyer bet 16,000 on the {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop, and Hanley called.

The {3-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Meyer bet 35,000. Hanley called again.

Meyer bet 75,000 on the {a-Spades} river, and Hanley called.

"You're good," Meyer said, and Hanley tabled {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a pair of aces and the winner.

Matt Stout Eliminated in 13th Place ($1,900)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matt Stout
Matt Stout

Valerie Hanley raised to 20,000 from the button, then called a three-bet to 56,000 from Matt Stout in the small blind.

Stout bet 52,000 on the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop, and Hanley jammed for 333,000. Stout snap-called.

Valerie Hanley: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Matt Stout: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

"C'mon, open-ender!" Hanley said.

Hanley clapped after the {k-Clubs} turn completed her straight, and Stout couldn't get the board to pair on the {6-Diamonds} river, leaving Stout with just 26,000. He lost those chips a few hands later to Hanley.

Jason Miller Eliminated in 14th Place ($1,900)

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jason Miller
Jason Miller

Jason Miller jammed for 115,000 from middle position, and Phil Beesley three-bet shoved for 375,000 on the button, chasing out the blinds.

Jason Miller: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Phil Beesley: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Miller's prospects were bleak, and a {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board brought little drama for Beesley's kings to score the knockout.

Stout Doubles Through Hanley

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Valerie Hanley opened to 20,000 on the cutoff, Matt Stout three-bet all in for 212,000, and Hanley called, having Stout covered.

Matt Stout: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Valerie Hanley: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Board: {3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Stout was behind going into the river, as Hanley caught a queen on the flop to pull ahead. The {k-Spades} came in on the river for Stout, however, and he's up to 444,400 after the double.

The turn came {7-Spades}, Johnson bet 42,000, and Neeme folded.

Jon Swift Eliminated in 16th Place ($1,900)

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jon Swift
Jon Swift

Jon Swift pushed for 44,000 on the button, and Ashley Sleeth called from the big blind.

Jon Swift: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Ashley Sleeth: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Board: {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The queen came in for Sleeth on the flop, but Swift still had hope going into the river, needing a spade for a flush. That spade didn't come, and Swift is out in 16th place.

Hanley Busts Somerville and Makes Pekarek Fold the Best Hand

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jason Somerville
Jason Somerville

Valerie Hanley raised to 25,000 from under the gun, and was called by Jeremy Pekarek in the hijack, Phil Beesley in the small blind, and Jason Somerville in the big blind.

Beesley checked the {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop to Somerville, who jammed for 33,000. Hanley raised to 100,000, Pekarek called, and Beesley folded.

Hanley jammed for 261,000 on the {4-Spades} turn.

"Gosh, you are just killing me today!" Pekarek exclaimed. He stood up, pacing by the table, then said, "It would pain me so hard to fold the best hand!"

A few minutes passed by, and he said, "You're so comfortable! Oh my gosh!"

A clock was eventually called, and with a few seconds left, he folded. At the prodding of Somerville, Pekarek revealed his {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, and he was about to be very unhappy:

Jason Somerville: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Valerie Hanley: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Pekarek dashed from the table as he saw he had indeed folded the best hand, and after the {8-Diamonds} hit the river, Hanley scored the knockout of the Run It Up founder, while Pekarek was left to lament his fold.
