Bad Beat King

David Benefield just lost about 80% of his stack. After some preflop raising with a late-positioned opponent, the flop came {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Benefield bet 5,500. His opponent pushed all in, and Benefield called.

Benefield showed {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Spades} for top two, while his opponent had K-K-x-x and no draws. The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, but the river was the {K-Spades}, and Benefield was down to 3,100.

Morgan So Lucky

Jordan "iMsoLucky0" Morgan continues to run well. After he and several others limped in preflop, the flop came {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. A player in the big blind bet 3,000, Morgan reraised to 7,500, the big blind pushed, and Morgan called.

Morgan showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. He was behind his opponent, who held A-A-J-6, but the {3-Spades} on the turn and the {7-Spades} gave Morgan a full house, knocking out his opponent.

Morgan is now up to 27,500.

Williams had A-A-x-x, and Hollink showed K-K-9-6. The turn was a blank, but a jack on the river gave Hollink the straight and sent Williams home.
