Ma Hits Four-Outer, Crosses 300K

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

On a {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board, Steve Ma had another player all in with around 300,000 in the pot. Ma was drawing thin with the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for two pair against an opponent's {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, but the {10-Spades} drilled the river to give Ma a better full house and the massive pot.

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

With the board showing {10-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Mandy Smith checked and Buck Ramsay moved all in for 30,200. Smith went into the tank for nearly two minutes before cutting out 30,200 from her stack. She shuffled the chips twice and pushed them into the pot.

Ramsay looked pained as he turned over {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} for two pair. Smith rolled over the {8-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a straight, and she added another 50,000 to her towering stack.
