Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Truan Cracks Queens

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Brandon Robinson opened from the hijack before James Truan three-bet all-in for 280,000 from the big blind. Robinson snap-called and put Truan at risk.

James Truan: A♣Q♣All in
Brandon Robinson: Q♠Q♥

Robinson had Truan's hand dominated, but Truan did have the ace working for him as they went to a runout.

The 6♠K♥3♥ flop kept Robinson in the lead.

Truan would find his ace on the A♥ turn, but Robinson was flush with outs going to a river.

The 5♠ river was a blank in favor of Truan as he doubled through Robinson.

Owens Doubles Through Williams

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Brandon Owens
Brandon Owens

This hand was picked up on the flop of 5♦5♠J♦ with over 150,000 in the middle. Brandon Owens went all-=in for 183,000 and was called by Parker Williams to be at risk.

Brandon Owens: J♠10♠All in
Parker Williams: Q♣Q♦

Owens was drawing thin as Williams held the overpair and with the fives on board, Owens could not spike a ten for a better two pair.

None of that mattered when Owens hit the J♥ on the turn to inprove to a full house and take the dominant lead into the river.

The 6♦ completed the board as Owens doubled.

At another table, Kromraj was eliminated from contention.

Double Knockout for Dawson

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Kyle Brown shoved on the button for 55,000. David Flowers followed with an all-in for 71,000 from the small blind and Kerry Dawson called from the big blind to put both at risk.

Kyle Brown: K♠2♣All in
David Flowers: 10♣10♥All in
Kerry Dawson: Q♦J♦

Flowers had the best of it, but he needed to fade several overcards to survive.

Dawson pulled ahead on the 2♦Q♣4♠ flop as Flowers and Brown were drawing thin to escape elimination.

The 8♠ turn was of no use to anyone, and the Q♦ river improved Dawson to trips as Brown and Flowers hit the payout desk.

At another table, William Latta was also eliminated to trim the field even further.

Freeman Eliminates Hand

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Melinda Freeman
Melinda Freeman

Melinda Freeman made it 55,000 on the button before James Hand shoved for his final 68,000 from the small blind. Freeman called and put Hand at risk.

James Hand: Q♣10♦All in
Melinda Freeman: A♣A♦

Hand was well behind, but he did flop a straight draw. The only problem was that he couldn't hit an ace for a straight as the flop came K♥J♣K♣ as it would give Freeman a full house.

The 3♦ turn was of no use to Hand, and the K♠ river improved Freeman to a full house to eliminate Hand from contention.

Flush Over Flush

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

This hand was picked up on the turn of a board that read A♣7♦4♣Q♣ with over 120,000 in the middle.

Bill Onley checked his option from the small blind before Michael Holland shoved for approximately 152,000 from the big blind. Jeff Manley gave it some consideration before he made the call. Onley got out of the way with a fold as Holland was at risk.

Michael Holland: K♣4♣All in
Jeff Manley: 9♣8♣

Holland had Manley drawing dead as he held the higher flush.

The meaningless A♦ came on the river as Holland secured the double.
