David Salituro

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Javier Terrazas raised to 10,000 under the gun, Seth Frederici moved all in for 40,000 on the button, and Terrazas called.

Seth Frederici: A♠9♣ All in
Javier Terrazas: A♦A♣

Frederici was crushed by Terrazas' aces as the flop came 9♥K♦K♥. The turn was the 10♥, but the 9♦ fell on the river to give Frederici a full house and miraculous double up.

"This table is all about getting it in dead. I was almost out the door," Frederici said as he returned to his seat and raked in the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Blair Hinkle raised to 9,000 under the gun, Jeff Copeland moved all in for 35,000 in the cutoff, and Hinkle called.

Jeff Copeland: A♠J♦ All in
Blair Hinkle: K♠Q♣

Copeland hit top pair on the J♥4♠3♥ flop. "How does he know?" Hinkle joked going to the turn, which came the 10♦ turn to give him a straight draw.

"Good game, guys," Copeland told his tablemates as he sensed Hinkle was going to get there, and his suspicions proved correct as Hinkle spiked the A♥ on the river to make his straight and send Copeland to the run.

"Guy runs so good," tablemate Daniel Hamm said.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in the big blind was all in for 50,000, Oren Goering also shoved on the button, while Todd Hyder in early position had both opponents covered and at risk.

Big Blind: 10♣10♠ All in
Oren Goering: A♣K♣ All in
Todd Hyder: A♦K♦

Both Goering and Hyder turned over ace-king and were racing against the big blind's tens as the flop came Q♦7♥9♥. The turn, though, was the A♠ to give Goering and Hyder top pair. The river was the 3♦ and they chopped the pot, while the big blind was sent to the rail.

At the same table, Terry Williams is sitting on a stack of around 360,000.
