Hodge Spinning It Up

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mark Hodge
Mark Hodge

Mark Hodge has just been spotted with a stack of 160,000, five times what he was last seen with just a level ago. According to Hodge, one hand of note involved a large three-way pot that resulted in Kyna England folding before Hodge doubled through his other opponent in the hand.

All in all, the MSPT Hall of Famer now finds himself with roughly double the average stack in the room after spending much of the day hovering around the tournament's 25K starting stack.

Whittington Can't Fade the World

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

The dealer was in the process of collecting 7,000 apiece from a player in middle position and Blake Whittington, who was on his left in the hijack.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and the middle-position player got his last 18,000 into the middle with Whittington wasting no time to give him action.

All-In Player: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Blake Whittington: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Whittington saw his nines in front but needed to fade gutshot straight, flush, and overcard outs to earn the pot and send his opponent packing. The turn {7-Clubs} complied, but the river fell {a-Hearts} to give his opponent the flush and keep him in the game.

Kyna England: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Antonio Modacure: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Modacure's flush was ahead of England's set, but the river {7-Spades} paired the board to boat her up and score her the dub.
