[Removed:420] raised from the cutoff, Charles Himes flatted from the button and everyone else departed.
The flop came K♠2♠9♠. Vinluan jammed and Himes nearly beat him into the middle with a call and turned over the A♥A♠ which was well ahead of the A♣K♦ of Vinluan.
The turn was the 7♥ and the river was the 5♠ to bring int the superfluous nut flush for Himes as he stemmed the momentum of the recently surging Vinluan.
[Removed:420] limped from the cutoff and Darrel Dier checked from the big blind.
The flop came 10♥10♠6♠. Vinluan bet 125,000 and Dier called.
The turn was the 4♠. Both players checked to the river which was the 2♣. Vinluan bet 300,000 and Dier quickly called.
"I forgot to look at my hand in the big blind," said Dier as he tabled the A♣A♠ but that was not the winner as Vinluan tabled the 10♦7♦ as the two players looked at what could have been a bigger pot.
Harley Brooks jammed from early position, Pat Lyons called with his shorter stack to put himself at risk.
Pat Lyons: Q♣J♦
Harley Brooks: A♦J♣
The board ran out 8♣3♦2♣10♥7♠ and Lyons was eliminated in eight place after entering the final table as the large chip leader thanks to some rough beats and lost flips.
Stacey Berger jammed from middle position, Pat Lyons re-shipped from the hijack and everyone else folded.
Stacery Berger: A♠K♥
Pat Lyons: 5♦5♥
The flop came K♦9♠3♣ to send Berger ahead. The turn was the K♠ and the river the J♣ as once again Lyons lost a flop to Berger and once again it was ace-king he was beaten by as his stack was cut down to a just three big blinds.
