Mathews Wins the Flip

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Don Mathews and Ben Scrogins got all the chips in the middle before the flop, with Mathews at risk.

Don Mathews: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Ben Scrogins: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Scrogins was a slight favorite going into this flip, but the flop of {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Clubs} quickly reversed that as Mathews flopped a pair of kings along with the nut flush draw. The turn {3-Clubs} improved him to the nut flush and left Scrogins drawing dead as the meaningless {q-Diamonds} appeared on the river.

Mathews was pushed the pot for a successful double up to put him right at 100,000.

Langevin Takes a Stand

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Johnn Langevin
Johnn Langevin

John Langevin opened to 7,000 and then was three-bet all-in by the big blind. Action folded back around to Langevin who paused for just a moment before flicking in a chip.

Big Blind Player: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
John Langevin: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Langevin need some help to catch up, and the poker gods provided as the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} to give him two pair, kings and tens to defeat his opponent and sent him to the rail.

Langevin also wanted it to be known that was the seventh time that guy had shoved on him and he decided he'd had enough and took a stand. He then began singing Eminem's "Not Afraid" all to himself as he stacked his new chips.

Valdivieso Wins Without Showing

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Thomas Carroll bet 25,000 but was then raised to 60,000 by Pablo Valdivieso.

After some thought, Carroll made the call and the two saw the {q-Hearts} fall on the river.

Carroll then led out for 75,000 and was snap-called by Valdivieso. Carroll then sheepishly mucked his hand and the pot was pushed to Valdivieso, who claimed he had {k-}{q-Spades}.
