Pnewski Calls It Off

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The community read {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} on fourth street, and a player in early position put Andre Pnewski all in for 20,700. After thinking about a minute, he called it off.

"Good call," the first player said, turning {6-Spades}{2-Spades} over. Pnewski showed {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for top pair and the nut flush draw, and the {q-Hearts} was a safe river for him to double.

Phan Finds an Early Double

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ryan Phan got his last 16,000 in preflop with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} against a player with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. This time, the aces were kinder to him than when he lost a big pot earlier to a player with fours, as the board ran out {6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Lowery Storming Back

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

RunGood Pro Duma Lowery was once halfway out the door but he's healthy after a hot run at Table 33. He doubled through nemesis Chunlei Yuan with {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} against {a-}{q-}, leaving Yuan in disbelief as he said Lowery had called off his stack.

"This guy is crazy," Yuan declared.

"He tried to say he was the craziest guy in the room," Lowery responded as he put 1,600 in dark from under the gun. "This is crazy."

Later, Lowery busted three short-stacked players with {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} in a four-way preflop all in. His opponents held {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, {a-}{k-}, and {8-}{6-}. The board ran out with {k-}{9-}{10-}{j-}, giving Lowery a straight.

Fink Wins a Race

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Mark Fink putting a shorter-stacked player who had about 14,000 all in before the flop.

Fink: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop gave Fink a plethora of outs, and the {3-Clubs} river gave him a winning flush after he missed the {4-Hearts} turn.

Chunlei Yuan and Duma Lowery continue to battle, and the RunGood Pro again found himself on the short end of the stick after they got stacks in on a board of {7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Lowery had turned top pair with {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} but he needed help against Yuan's aces. The {4-Diamonds} river didn't do it for him, and he sent 20,775 to his neighbor, leaving himself just 1,400 or so behind.

Lowery jammed the next hand in the dark but found no takers.

Yuan Back from the Brink

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Chunlei Yuan was down to 2,000 after losing a big pot to Duma Lowery, and he hasn't been shy about getting his chips in since then, proceeding to rake his way back to 25,000.

After their table, Lowery and Yuan again found themselves seated next to each other with Yuan in position, and he scooped up two recent pots at Lowery's expense. In one, Lowery raised to 1,800 over a limper, only to have Yuan shove all in. Lowery folded.

The next hand, Lowery limped under the gun and Yuan made it 2,600. Bhaskar Setti called in the big blind, and Lowery made it three to a {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop. Action checked to Yuan, who fired out a bet and got two quick folds.
