Coach Is Here

[user46392]
[user46392]
Jeremy "Coach" Feinberg called bets from his opponent down more or less every street (a third player was in, but folded on fourth street) -- and come seventh, they chopped it up.

Coach: {5-Clubs} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} ({3-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {A-Clubs})
Mr. Opponent: {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} ({3-?} {5-?} {K-?})

Filippi Fails to Fill Up

[user46392]
Amnon Filippi moved all in on third street with the {A-Diamonds} showing -- apparently he didn't look at the other two cards.

He got two callers, and both managed to stay in until seventh, at which point they chopped up the pot and Filippi made his exit.

Filippi: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} ({2-Hearts} {A-Spades} {J-?})
Opponent #1: {5-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} ({8-?} {5-?} {9-?})
Opponent #2: {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {8-Spades} {K-Hearts} ({K-?} {2-?} {5-?})

A total of 467 runners entered, generating a prizepool of $637,455.

48 happy players will be getting paid, and top prize will be exactly $159,390 plus a lovely shiny bracelet.

Brockin' Up

[user46392]
[user46392]
One player who has some very hard work ahead of him if he's to get anywhere near that delicious payout is Brock Parker. He's just found himself all in with {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {A-?} for two pair, and he ended up chopping the pot to stay in on a shaky 2,200.
