Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
We found three players' hands turned over before the flop at one of the tables. The shortest stack had about 10,000 and was holding 
, while Brandon Nemeth had 
and about 5,000 more. A third player had put both at risk with 
.
The dealer spread a 
flop, giving Nemeth life with a flush draw.
"Heart," he said. "Heart."
An improved the position of the short stack slightly, but a 
river gave Nemeth the flush he needed to survive.

Baker Fades Clubs
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 200 ante
Steven Baker put his last 14,000 in from the small blind after a 
flop in a multi-way pot. One player called, another folded, and a third tanked a bit before folding the face up.
"That any good?" he said.
"I hope so, because that's all I've got," Baker said, tabling .
He was in luck, as his opponent turned over a flush draw: 
. A 
turn gave the player an open-ended straight as well, but the mercifully paired the board for Baker.
