Wagner's Flush Holds

Level 9 : 400/800, 75 ante
Dan Wagner from Event #3
Dan Wagner from Event #3

We caught up with Dan Wagner, Ray Book and another player staring at a {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. Wagner checked, Book bet 4,200 and the player on the button called. Wagner then check-raised to 11,400, sending Book into the tank for more than a minute before he tossed his cards. The other player moved all in for about 7,500 more and Wagner snapped him off.

Wagner: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Button: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The {J-Spades} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river secured the double for Wagner, who has now joined the 100K club.

William Ho is the new chip leader after taking down a massive pot against Sam DeSabio.

The player in Seat 1 opened to 1,700 from early position and Ryan Rivers (cutoff), DeSabio (button and Ho (big blind) called.

The dealer fanned the {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop and action checked to DeSabio, who bet 3,400. Ho called, and the player in Seat 1 check-raised to 10,000. Rivers mucked and DeSabio responded with a three-bet to 33,400. Ho quickly announced all in and the other player got out of the way. DeSabio pondered his options for a minute before committing his stack.

Ho: {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
DeSabio: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}

Ho turned the big blind special into gold with his flopped straight and he managed to hod up through the {2-Spades} turn and {A-Diamonds} river. DeSabio was eliminated.

Tomassi "Gambles" to Win Massive Pot

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Lou Tomassi

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, Sharman Olshan fired a continuation bet worth 3,000 and Lou Tomassi called. Blake Napierala then shoved for 27,025, and Olshan took little time before making the call. Tomassi then went into the tank for several minutes.

"To gamble or not to gamble," Tomassi said as he stood up from his seat.

He decided to gamble after a clock was called on him, calling the bet and leaving around 25,000 behind in his stack. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Olshan immediately moved all in. Tomassi called, and a crowd gathered to check out the hands.

Napierala: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Olshan: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Tomassi: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Napierala was ahead with his two pair, but he had to fade a king or a club to win the huge pot. The dealer rolled over the {3-Clubs} and Tomassi yelled in celebration as his flush took down the entire pot, eliminating Olshan and Napierala in the process.
