Upshaw Doubles

Roy Upshaw checked on a flop of {9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Jason Hall moved all in for effectively 73,000, and Upshaw made the call.

Upshaw: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Hall: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Hall was behind, but the {a-Spades} spiked on the turn. Upshaw was one card away from hitting the door, but the {k-Spades} completed the board, giving him trip kings and the winning hand.

He doubled to 200,000 chips, while Hall is down to around 435,000.

Clinkscales Trending Up

Curtis Steele and Rex Clinkscales were heads up on a board of {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Spades}. Steele tosse out a bet of what looked like 62,000, and Clinkscales was in the tank. Finally, he called.

"Good call," Steele said.

Clinkscales showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}, which was good against his opponent's nine-high.

McFarland Grabs One Before Dinner

With around 250,000 in the middle, and the board reading {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, Krissi McFarland led out for 100,000. Her opponent, Bisuil Hoxaj went deep into the tank, so long that the clock was called on him.

He let the clock trickle all the way down to zero, and his hand was declared dead. McFarland raked in the pot, refusing to "show the bluff."

Hoffman Wakes Up with Pocket Rockets; Perez Cracks Them

Fred Perez opened for 40,000 and received a call from the player on the button. Todd Hoffman then moved all in from the small blind for 289,000. Perez gave it some thought before calling off for 276,000, and the button folded {A-}{K-}.

Perez: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Hoffman: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

Hoffman was cheerful for a moment and chatting with the table, but the {9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop changed his attitude. Suddenly he went from a huge favorite to an underdog as Perez flopped a set. Neither the {8-Diamonds} turn nor {6-Clubs} river helped Hoffman, and he was left with just 13,000 after the hand.

He was eliminated one hand later in 53rd place.

Vecasco Dispatched by the Aces of Bakhshian

Jonathan Bakhshian and Ricardo Vecasco just had a raising war that resulted in the latter being all in for roughly 250,000 preflop.

Vecasco: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Bakhshian: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

It was the worst possible spot for Vecasco as Bakhshian had woken up with aces. As it happened, Vecasco didn't even get a sweat as the board ran out an uneventful {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.
