Morey Knocks out Behncke and is Now Chipleader

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ken Morey
Ken Morey

On a three-way flop of {q-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Brian Behncke in the small blind open shipped his stack of 31,000 and was called by Armando Mesina to his left.

But then Ken Morey came over the top and shoved for 150,000, covering Mesina. Mesina looked pained as he folded {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} face up into the muck as the other players tabled their cards, with Behncke at risk.

Brian Behncke: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Ken Morey: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Morey was in a great position as he had Behncke drawing only to running tens or king-jack. That being said, the turn came the {10-Diamonds} to also give Behncke two-pair, so he could win the hand with any ten, but the river {2-Diamonds} did not do it and he was eliminated as Morey was pushed the large pot.

Meanwhile, Mesina was kicking himself as he had folded a diamond, which would have scooped the entire pot to make him the chip leader.

Becker Binks River

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, big blind Erin Constantino check-raised all in after a bet of 7,000 from David Becker under-the-gun.

After mulling it over for a few moments, Becker eventually decided on a call and the cards were tabled, with Constantino at risk.

Erin Constantino: {3-Spades}{5-Spades}
David Becker: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

Constantino was ahead at the time with her pair of fives, but the turn {q-Spades} gave Becker the nut flush draw and the river {a-Hearts} was the dagger as it gave him two pair to win the hand.

Constantino was sent to the rail and Becker was pushed the pot to boost his stack to 165,000.

Monster Flop for Alvarado

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a three-way flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, the early position player was first to act and he moved all in for 8,500 and was called by Dominic Alvarado while the third player folded. The cards were then tabled with Alvarado covering.

Early Position: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Dominic Alvarado: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"Oh wow, what a monster flop for you," Alvarado's opponent sighed as he realized he was way behind.

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to improve Alvarado to top two-pair and he was awarded the pot as his opponent was eliminated.
