Souther Hits the Rail

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Will "Monkey" Souther
Will "Monkey" Souther

On a flop of {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, action checked to the cutoff, where Jimmy Eastham pushed all in for 12,300. Will "Monkey" Souther called for nearly all of his stack, and another player folded.

Souther: {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Eastham: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Souther's top pair was no good, and he bricked the {9-Diamonds} turn and {3-Hearts} river.

"Well, this has been a fun eight hours of my life that I'll never get back," Souther remarked.

He lost his last 1,100 a couple of hands later.

No More Hope

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
"Captain" Ron Hope
"Captain" Ron Hope

Jeff Quin opened for 4,000 and then called the shove of "Captain" Ron Hope, who had about 20,000 in the big blind.

Hope: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Quin: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Both players found help on the {9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop, but Hope would need immediate help on the turn in order to even have a prayer against Quin's set. The {4-Spades} was a blank, and Quin patted the table.

Song's Music Ends

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
John Song
John Song

William Flippen bet 4,000 from the big blind on a {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop and was called by John Song in the cutoff. On the {j-Diamonds} turn, Flippen bet 5,000 and was again called. A {7-Clubs} hit the river, and Flippen checked. Song moved in for 18,800, and Flippen quickly counted out the requisite chips and called.

"I've got ace-high," Song said with a sigh, showing {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Flippen had ace-high also, but his {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} played for the knockout.
