Holladay Takes Big Pot From Drobes With River Eight

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Scott Drobes, who was the beneficiary of a river eight earlier to gain a big pot was apparently dealt a blow with a river eight in the same way.

According to him, he got in all in with Dustin Holladay on a ten high flop. Holladay held pocket queens against the pocket eights of Holladay. Just as before, an eight on the river killed the pocket queens and gave Holladay the pot over 500,000.

Woernle Finds a Huge Double Up

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Facing a three-bet and a call already, Keith Woernle four-bet to 175,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to the player on his right who five-bet shoved all in. Woernle thought for a brief moment and "sigh-called" off his stack of 403,000.

Keith Woernle: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Woernle was happy to see that he was the clear favorite but didn't want to watch the cards the hit the felt. The board ran out {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and Woernle held on to scoop one of the largest pots of the tournament thus far.

Resha Uses Flush to Take Big Pot

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Three players put chips in the middle on a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The turn came the {8-Hearts} Jason Resha then moved all in into his two opponents. Maurice Hawkins called quickly and Kevin Parker thought for a few moments before deciding to fold and the cards were turned up.

Resha had the {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the flush which bested the {q-}{j-} with no heart of Hawkins. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Resha took down the good sized pot.

Brand Moves Into the Lead

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a flop of {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Dennis Brand and his opponent in the big blind got all of the chips in the middle with Brand's opponent being the player at risk for around 145,000.

Dennis Brand: {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Brand was trailing his opponent who flopped top pair with a flush draw but that didn't seem to be a problem. The {3-Hearts} landed on the turn to give Brand a straight and he held through the {k-Clubs} on the river to eliminate his opponent and move into the lead.
