Soller Flips for His Stack

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The cutoff opened the action with a raise to 8,000 and Zach Soller re-jammed for 32,000 from the small blind. The cutoff called.

Zach Soller: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Cutoff: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The cutoff picked up four more outs on the flop {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}, but running {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} left Soller's pocket fives best and he won the coin flip to double.

McMaster Loses a Flip for his Tournament Life

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Derek McMaster
Derek McMaster

All of the chips went into the middle before the flop between Derek McMaster in the small blind and Ashton Bellah, in early position.

Derek McMaster: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Ashton Bellah: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

"Ace-king; jacks," announced the dealer of the two players' hands before bringing a ten-high runout of {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} to leave Bellah's jacks best. Stacks were counted with McMaster's totaling 50,500 and Bellah's 51,500, and McMaster was eliminated from the tournament.

The Ladies Love Barry Faecher

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Barry Faecher

A pile of chips was already in the middle on a board reading {10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{a-Spades} and three players had cards in front of themselves. Barry Faecher bet 9,000 under the gun and was called by a player in middle position. The hijack then raised to 35,000 and Faecher jammed for 39,500. The middle-position player went into the tank, eventually announcing a fold, and then the hijack confirmed the remainder to call before doing so.

"If you've got the straight, you've got me beat," said Faecher.

"I don't," said his opponent, tabling {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Faecher turned over {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a set of queens and needed only to fade the two remaining aces in the deck. The river {7-Spades} fell cleanly in his favor and he scored the sizeable pot for more than a double.
