Brewer Flops the World

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Gregory Brewer
Gregory Brewer

Gregory Brewer got his stack of 21,700 all in preflop and found himself in dire straits.

Gregory Brewer: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Brewer had the inferior ace and needed to get lucky. Well, the flop came highly above average as the {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs} gave him the nut flush.

The {2-Diamonds} turn locked up the double for Brewer and he was pushed the pot after the {9-Hearts} was run out on the river.

Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Wilson remained in the lead after the {7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop. The {q-Clubs} and the {9-Diamonds} completed board and Wilson eliminated his opponent.

Massey Gets a Much Needed Double

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Aaron Massey
Aaron Massey

A player opened to 1,800 under the gun and the player next to act three-bet to 5,000. Aaron Massey was in the cutoff and moved all in for 12,400. The under the gun player folded and the three bettor called.

Massey: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

There was no ace on the {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop but Massey now needed to also fade a gut-shot straight draw. The board bricked out {10-Diamonds} and {6-Hearts} to secure the double up for Massey.

Das Wins Without Showdown

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Dilip Das
Dilip Das

A player in middle position opened to 1,800 and got called by three players, including Dilip Das on the button.

The flop came {8-Spades}{q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and the preflop raiser continued for 3,800. Das was the lone caller and they went heads up to the {k-Hearts} turn card. The player in middle position bet again, this time 4,800. Das called.

The {7-Hearts} river completed the board and the player first to act wasn't slowing down as he fired out a bet of 7,500. Das announced all in and his opponent folded for just 6,300 more.

Carey on the Comeback Trail

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Irene Carey
Irene Carey

WSOP Circuit ring winner Irene Carey was down to just 1,000 before working it up to 3,600. That is when she moved all in from the button over the top of an under-the-gun limp. Both blinds folded and the UTG player called.

Irene Carey: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
UTG: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

It was a flip and Carey was just looking to hold with her ducks. That's just what she did too as the board ran out a clean {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.
