Wonderful River for Weatherly

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up turn of A336, it was an all-out war as Eric Sutton and Truman Weatherly managed to get every single chip to their names into the pot, swelling it to over 250,000.

Truman Weatherly: A6
Eric Sutton: K9

Sutton was a huge favorite with his turned flush, but the river was not his friend as it came the 3 tp improve Weatherly to a full house to win the monster pot.

"This happens every time," Sutton was shaking his head in visible frustration," People just try to give their chips away to you and they get rewarded for it."

"Ok, we're all in," Preston McEwen announced to PokerNews as he slid his stack into the middle after a raise and re-raise.

The original raiser quickly folded but Dylan Lemery quickly made the call to put him at risk.

Preston McEwen: 99
Dylan Lemery: AK

If McEwen had any doubts about his nines, they were quickly washed away as the flop came out a beautiful 96J to give him middle set.

The J on the turn instantly improved him to a full house to lock up the win as the board completed with the meaningless 4 to score him the double-up.

Double Whammy Sends Wilkie Walking

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After losing a huge pot previously to Michael Zaro, Thomas Wilkie was all in once again against the same adversary on a flop of 9Q8.

"Yeah, I flopped it," Zaro announced as he tabled J10 for the nut straight while Wilkie flipped over Q10 for top pair. Wilkie could still hit a jack to chop with Zaro, but the runout of43 did not do it and he ws sent to the rail while Zaro quickly rose to the top of the chip counts.
