Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The flop read {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and there was around 20,000 in the pot. Charles Johnson checked to a player who bet 12,000 and David Lackey called the bet.

Johnson check-raised all in for 53,000 total and the initial folded. Lackey called and the two tabled their hands with Johnson at risk of elimation.

Charles Johnson: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
David Lackey: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board came down {7-Spades}{9-Spades} and Johnson's full house pulled in the pot, doubling through Lackey.

Steve Karp raised to 3,500 under the gun and the hijack called along with Dan Chalifour in the small blind and Jane Hitchcock in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Chalifour and Hitchcock checked. Karp bet 6,600 and the hijack folded. Chalifour check-raised to 16,600 and Hitchcock let it go but Karp quickly added the remainder to call.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and Chalifour threw in a bet of 23,000 that Karp snap-called. The {k-Clubs} completed the board and both players checked. Chalifour showed {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a pair of kings but that wasn't good enough as Karp revealed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} to win the pot with his set of eights.
