A Straight Flush for All

Matt Hansen

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A ruckus was heard from Table 23 and the source was a bit pot for Walker Miskelly.

The board had run out with 4♠7♠5♠6♠8♠ — a straight flush. Brian Duffy had K♥K♦, so he played the board, but Miskelly turned over 9♥9♠ to reveal a higher straight flush to take the pot.

Some confusion appeared to have prevented Miskelly from getting full value, but he still chipped up above one million.

Meanwhile, Duffy is on fire and above the two-million mark.

Brian Duffy	2,175,000 975,000	975,000

Virtusio Raises the River

Matt Hansen

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was heads up with what looked like more than 500,000 in the middle and 3♥4♥3♦Q♠A♥ on the board when Chris Cochran bet 160,000 from the small blind. Jaymie Virtusio raised to 320,000 from the next seat over and Cochran went into the tank before he decided to call.

Virtusio, who has already won a ring in the $300 One Day event at this stop, turned over A♣4♠ for aces and fours. Cochran mucked the losing hand and she took another big pot to shoot over the one-million mark.

Meanwhile, Jerry Henry and Logan Smith have busted out of the tournament.
