Melancon Ousted; Morency Crippled

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jay Melancon couldn't make his chip lead last.
Jay Melancon couldn't make his chip lead last.

We found Jay Melancon, who began the day with the chip lead, all in for about 200,000 after a flop of {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Jim Lawrence made the call.

Lawrence: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Melancon: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Melancon needed a club, but he found only spades on the {q-Spades} turn and {9-Spades} river, and the former chip leader made his exit.

At the other table, Don Morency II and Mike Lang got all in on a {6-}{3-}{2-} with Morency II covering.

Morency II: {3-}{3-}
Lang: {6-}{6-}

It was a classic cooler, and after fading the one-outer, Lang now has over 1 million.

Pates Catches Singer's Move

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Steve Senger tried pushing Ken Pates off a hand.
Steve Senger tried pushing Ken Pates off a hand.

We found Ken Pates with a bet of about 100,000 in front of him, and Steve Senger jamming all in. Pates quickly called with the board reading {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Pates: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Senger: {8-}{7-}

Pates had caught Senger shipping a pair and a gutter.

"Put a ten out there," Senger said.

The dealer didn't, though, as a {q-Diamonds} hit the board.

Soja Busts Short Stack

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

A player shoved all in for 127,000 in early position, and Brian Soja made the call from middle position. The big blind agonized before folding.

Soja: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Early position: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The big blind let out a sigh of disgust as the dealer spread a {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, saying he folded two eights. The {5-Hearts} hit the turn and the {3-Clubs} the river, and Soja added the pot to his stack.

Players are on a 10-minute break.

Tony Lazar has a hefty stack.
Tony Lazar has a hefty stack.

A player opened for a raise in early position and was three-bet by Tony Lazar on the button. The raiser shoved all in for about 200,000, and Lazar made the call.

Lazar: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Early position: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

"Nice hand, Tony," the early-position player said after the dealer spread a flop of {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Spades}, giving Lazar a set. The {a-Clubs} ended things on the turn.

Coburn Puts a Beat on Bohn

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Blake Bohn was the victim of a bad beat here on Day 2.
Blake Bohn was the victim of a bad beat here on Day 2.

We found Nes Coburn all in from middle position, and Blake Bohn called off his stack of about 90,000 in the cutoff. Everyone else bowed out.

Coburn: {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Bohn: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Bohn had Coburn dominated, and the {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop kept him well in front. The {5-Diamonds} turn gave Coburn a flush draw, and the {4-Diamonds} river completed it.

Coburn proclaimed that he had yet to lose a race.

"That's not a race," Bohn said with a laugh. "You know that's as far away from a race as you can get."

"Love this game," Bohn said as he walked away from the table.
