Wilson Runs Into the Givens Buzzsaw

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
James Wilson
James Wilson

William Givens opened for 70,000 from the hijack, and when action reached James Wilson in the small blind, he three-bet all in for what looked to be 400,000 or so. Givens snap-called.

Givens: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Wilson: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Wilson was looking for a nine, but he was left wanting as the board ran out a dry {4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. With that, Wilson was sent to the rail in 21st place.

Fishhooks Spell Doom for Levy

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Julian Levy
Julian Levy

Action folded to Julian Levy on the button and he open-shipped for 557,000. Corey Zedo, who had 570,000, was in the big blind and liked what he saw as he made the call.

Levy: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Zedo: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Levy was left shaking his head and calling for a jack. The {7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop was no help, but the {A-Spades} turn did give him a flush draw. Despite his plea for a spade, the useless {K-Diamonds} bricked on the river to send him out the door in 22nd place.

Clarke Let's It Ride

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

On a {k-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Spades} flop, George Clarke led out for 100,000 and Joe Huang moved all in for just under 400,000. Clarke, who didn't have much more than that, thought for a bit and then called.

Clarke: {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Huang: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Huang flopped top two, but Clarke went with his straight and flush draw. The {Q-Hearts} turn completed the former, and the {4-Clubs} blanked on the river to send Huang out the door in 23rd place.

Nice Flop for Hoch

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Just before the break, Cuong Van Nguyen opened for 45,000 from the cutoff only to have Ross Reichert three-bet all in from the small blind. Paul Hoch then called off for 124,000 from the big blind, Nguyen folded, and the cards were turned up.

Hoch: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Reichert: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Reichert was ahead, but not after the {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop delivered Hoch a flush. Neither the {9-Clubs} turn nor {5-Hearts} river helped Reichert, and he sent over some chips.
