Feinberg Hits Quads, Harrington Dodges a Bullet
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Mark Feinberg gave PokerNews the details of a hand that resulted in Feinberg doubling up to 42,000, with Brent Harrington avoiding disaster.
The hand began with an under-the-gun limp, calls from Harrington on the button, and Rafi Azam in the small blind.
Feinberg raised to 3,800, and the under-the-gun player limp-shoved for 18,000. Harrington went into the tank for awhile, then folded, and Azam also folded. Feinberg made the call.
Mark Feinberg: 
Under the Gun: 
Board: 
The river brought in quad queens for Feinberg on a runout that couldn't have gone better for his hand.
Harrington later said that the hand he was tanking on was pocket eights, which would have brought in a losing set of eights for Harrington.

Walker KOs Meyers
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kevin Meyers open shoved from early position, and Mark Walker made the call, with Meyers covered.
Kevin Meyers: 
Mark Walker: 
Board: 
The hand Walker turned over wasn't what Meyers wanted to see, with Meyers needing a king or a five to hit the board and Walker staying unimproved. No help came for Meyers on the runout, however, and he headed to the registration desk to buy in for another bullet.

flop, with only Tang calling.
Afzal Atta: 
Jason Tang:
The turn 
brought in a club flush draw to go with Tang's top pair, but the river brought disaster, as the hit the board to bring in a set of sevens for Atta.
Just as Tang was finishing that story, he opened to 3,000 in another hand, was min-raised by Stefano Barone to 6,000, and Tang shoved, with Barone snap calling.
Jason Tang:
Stefano Barone:
