Mickey Doft

Jamil Wakil opened to 110,000 from the hijack and Jim Harnden defended his big blind.

The flop fell {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Harnden led out 260,000. A call from Wakil landed the {5-Hearts} on the turn. Harnden kept up the heat with a bet of 500,000,. but Wakil quickly announced all in for what looked to be about 650,000 more.

Harnden sat motionless for about three minutes before announcing call, showing {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

"Wow, how can you call?" asked a stunned Wakil. He tabled {J-Spades}{7-Spades} and had nine outs to survive. The {2-Diamonds} was not one of them, ending his tournament in fifth place.

Williamson Grows By Double

[user66118]

Under the gun, Rob Williamson came in for 125,000, and Jim Harnden three-bet shoved from the button with his big stack.

"Wow!" Matthew O'Brien said as he followed the action in front of him. "One time!" he said, looking at his cards from the big blind.

He mucked, though, and Williamson spent a while in the tank before calling all in for 1.675 million. Cards up, gents.

Showdown
Williamson: {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Harnden: {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

O'Brien was less than thrilled that he'd been forced to fold king-queen, and Williamson was pleased to know that one of his death cards was gone from the deck.

The flop came out a very friendly {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, and Williamson secured his double one card early as the {6-Hearts} turn left Harnden drawing dead. The river {A-Diamonds} was meaningless, and it's another huge double for Williamson.

Drazen Ilich Eliminated in 6th Place ($44,317)

Matthew O'Brien opened a can of worms with a raise to 110,000 from the hijack seat, and Drazen Ilich three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff. O'Brien came right back over the top to 665,000, Ilich shoved in for about 2.6 million total, and O'Brien made the call to put a five-million-chip pot in the middle of the table. Monster flip for a third of the chips in play, anyone?

Showdown
O'Brien: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Ilich: {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades} {J-Hearts} {Q-Spades} flop was a good sweat as O'Brien added another four outs to the win with the gutshot straight draw. The turn brought the {A-Spades} and a big lead for O'Brien with one to come, and Ilich was drawing dead to the last two nines in the deck. The river was an upside-down nine, but the {6-Hearts} was a miss for Ilich.

That's the end of his day in sixth place, and he'll snag nearly $45,000 for his efforts here in Palm Beach this long weekend.

Ilich Finds a Few

[user66118]
[user66118]

From the hijack seat, Jim Harnden opened to 105,000, and Drazen Ilich called along from the small blind to go heads up.

The flop came out {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {K-Spades}, and it checked through to the {2-Spades} turn. Now Ilich took the lead with 120,000, and he fired another 220,000 after the {A-Hearts} river. Harnden called both bullets, but Ilich's {A-Spades} {Jd] was the winner at showdown.

"Getting There", By Rob Williamson

[user66118]
[user66118]

Under the gun, Jamil Wakil opened to 85,000, and he found action from Rob Williamson who came along with a flat on the button.

The dealer rolled out {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} {A-Spades}, and it would prove to be quite the action bringer. Wakil continued out with 125,000 before Williamson raised to 400,000, and the bettor came right back with an all-in shove to put Williamson to the test for his last 1.095 million total. The call came quickly, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Wakil: {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Williamson: {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Williamson was on the come, and he needed to find a jack or some running help cards to stay alive.

Turn: {J-Diamonds}

Well, that'll do. Williamson, who had been standing, took a seat back in his chair as he'd turned his lucky Broadway to put himself one card from the double. Now he just needed to fade the remaining queens and aces in the deck, and the river {4-Diamonds} was just fine.

After that double, Williamson has put himself back around the chip average with 2.465 million, setting Wakil all the way back to about 1.6 million in the process.

Wakil Hands Them Over To O'Brien

[user66118]
[user66118]

The table folded around to the blinds where Jamil Wakil opened to 100,000. Matthew O'Brien defended his big blind, and off they went to the flop.

Wakil bet 105,000 on the {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {8-Spades} flop and another 225,000 when the {3-Diamonds} hit fourth street. O'Brien called both of those bets, and he was faced with another 525,000 after the {2-Hearts} river. There was no call this time. O'Brien shoved instead, and Wakil quickly uncapped his cards and flicked them muckward.
