David Hobbs

In a battle of the blinds, David Hobbs bet 50,000 on a {j-}{10-}{7-} flop, and Jim Will shoved all in after tanking a bit for about 350,000 effective. Hobbs called it off with {k-}{k-}, only to be shown {9-}{8-} for the stone nuts. Hobbs needed massive help, but he could only chop after the {8-} turn. The river was a {q-Diamonds}, and Will collected the pot of the tournament thus far.

Lushin Makes a Mistake

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Mike O'Neill check-called 18,000 in a blind battle on an {8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. Both players checked the {j-Diamonds}, and O'Neill bet 25,000 on the {5-Spades}. Matt Lushin made it 52,000, and O'Neill called.

"King-high," Lushin said, tossing {k-}{7-} in.

O'Neill showed {k-}{6-}.

"I messed up on that bet," Lushin said regretfully. "Meant to make it 72,000.
