Croffut's Aces Get Cracked... By Aces

donpeters

Adam Croffut raised to 44,000 after Tommy Vedes limped in from early position. Michael Casella called out of the small blind and then Vedes reraised to 253,000. Croffut then raised all in. Casella folded and Vedes made the call instantly.

The showdown was almost expected, {A-Hearts}

for Vedes and {A-Spades}

for Croffut.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}

and there was now a chance that Vedes could go runner, runner for the diamond flush.

The turn brought the {J-Diamonds}

, making the flush more of a real possibility for Vedes.

The river was the {8-Diamonds}

and Vedes slapped his hands together with excitement as he made the flush. He's now up to 1.4 million while Croffut dropped to 161,000.

. The river was no help, and the {K-Spades}

Bach Gets Smacked

donpeters

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}

and Kasper Cordes was able to jam his nuts right down the throat of Christopher Bach when he got Bach to commit all of his chips holding just {A-Diamonds}

for the nut flush draw. Cordes held {9-Clubs}

.

The turn and river were both non diamonds when the {3-Spades}

and

fell. Cordes' straight was good enough to scoop the pot and move up to 4.295 million. Bach was left with just 280,000.

Schulman Says Goodbye

[user66118]

Before the flop, Marc Etienne McLaughlin opened with a cutoff raise to 28,000. Nick Schulman was on the button, and he three-bet it up to 96,000. McLaughlin then moved all in, and Schulman called to put himself at risk of elimination.

Showdown
McLaughlin: {A-Diamonds}

Shulman:

The board came {8-Clubs}

, improving McLaughlin to the winning pair of kings. That's the end of the road for Nick Schulman, and he would take several minutes to himself, sitting all alone at one of the dimly-lit tables in the corner of the room.

and Sanders was a fair bit behind tabling {10-Diamonds}

. The board ran out {4-Diamonds}

.

The Magician is now up to approximately 1,200,000 in chips.
