Alsup Flops Broadway to Double Through Wilkie

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Action on the table folded around to Rich Alsup who raised all in for 1,150,000 from late position and was called by Steve Wilkie on the button.

Rich Alsup: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Steve Wilkie: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

It was a flip until the dealer dropped the {10-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop giving Alsup the nuts.

The turn came the {7-Diamonds} securing Alsup's double and the dealer dropped the meaningless {5-Hearts} on the river.

Action on the table folded around to Josh Damm who raised all in from the small blind and Yevgeniy Minakrin called putting his stack at risk.

Josh Damm: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Yevgeniy Minakrin: {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Minakrin was trailing far behind the pocket jacks of Damm and the {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop was no help.

The {4-Clubs} turn left Minakrin drawing dead and the {5-Spades} river sealed his fate sending him home in seventh place.

Action on the table folded around to Anthony Dunne who limped in from the small blind and Ian Matakis raised al in from the big. Dunne looked puzzled by the move and took a few moments before ultimately making the call.

Ian Matakis: {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Anthony Dunne: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Matakis was in rough shape and but the flop fell {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades} giving both players a gutshot.

The {k-Spades} turn wasn;t what Matakis as a queen would give Dunne a higher straight.

Matakis needed a four on the river to win or an eight to chop but it fell the {2-Hearts} eliminating him in eighth place.
