McCracken Takes Pot with a Seven

Kirk Brown

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 3♣A♦7♦, William McCracken checked to Iman Alsaden, who bet 20,000 and McCracken called. The turn came the 4♠ and McCracken check-called another bet of 45,000 from Alsaden to see the river 9♣.

He checked once more and this time Alsaden decided to check back. McCracken then tabled 6♠7♠ for a pair of sevens and Alsaden mucked to award him the pot.

Traber Emerges Victorious in Classic Battle Royale; Katragadda Exits

Kirk Brown

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up as James Traber, Brian Winter, and Pavan Katragadda were involved in a three-way all-in preflop, with Winter covering.

Pavan Katragadda: K♦K♣
James Traber: A♥K♥
Brian Winter: Q♥Q♦

Katragadda was in the best position to win the hand with his kings, but the runout of A♦6♣J♥10♥4♥ gave Traber the win as he paired his ace on the flop and improved to the nut flush on the river. He was awarded the massive pot for a triple-up while Katragadda was sent to the payout desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
James Traber	575,000 243,000	243,000
Brian Winter	185,000 -39,000	-39,000

Frank Bounces Back with Straight Flush

Kirk Brown

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After being left with only 22,000 while doubling up Burl Berry with A♦J♦ against Q♦10♠, Ashley Frank had spun her stack back to 75,000 when she moved all in once more against Ricky Gebhart.

Ashley Frank: 7♥7♦
Ricky Gebhart: A♣K♣

The flop of 10♥A♠9♥ was not in Frank's favor, but the runout of 8♥J♥ sure was as she made a straight flush on the river to secure the double in dramatic fashion.
