Double for Dudani

After a raise from the cutoff seat to 29,000, Shiva Dudani reraised all in from the small blind for 186,000. The cutoff seat called holding the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Dudani held the {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

"Nice hand," sighed Dudani as he saw the bad news.

The board ran out {Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}, and just as Dudani was about to get out of his chair, he hit a flush on the river to double up.

Crawford Wins Massive, 1.9 Million-Chip Pot

With the average stack sitting around 404,000, we just witnessed a near 2 million-chip pot.

There was a raise by Charles Donahue preflop, and two calls from Claudia Crawford and Josh Williams. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}, Donahue checked, and Crawford fired 40,000. Williams called, Donahue raised to what looked like 110,000 or so, and only Crawford called.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds}, and Donahue led out for 148,000. Crawford raised to 308,000, and Donahue moved all in for 813,000.

"Wow," Crawford blurted. "This is my whole tournament."

When the count was verified by the dealer, Crawford went deep into the tank.

"Sorry guys," she offered, but no one dared be impatient - there was already over 1.4 million in the middle of the table.

Crawford eventually called, tabling {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top two pair, and Donahue rolled over {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for a flush draw.

The river was a red {5-Diamonds}, and just like that Donahue was eliminated.

"I tried to fold," Crawford told him after the hand, but Donahue wasn't mad.

"You made a great call," he told her.

Crawford is now way ahead of the pack with an astounding 2.3 million chips.
