donpeters

On the flop of {8-Diamonds}

, Kasper Cordes moved all in for approximately 600,000 and Scott Cook snap-called with top set, {8-Hearts}

. Cordes held just {A-Diamonds}

and would need running cards for a straight.

The turn was the {K-Clubs}

and that was the end of it. Cordes was drawing dead, but had to wait around for the river while the ESPN cameras set up the shot. It took about a minute and then the river was dealt the {J-Hearts}

. Officially, that was the end of things and Cordes was sent to the rail.

Affleck Affluent, Shou Super Short

Shamus

Matt Affleck opened by raising all in for 405,000 from the hijack seat. Then Tian Shou pushed all in as well for exactly 406,000, just a yellow (1000) chip more than Affleck. It folded to Benjamin Jensen in the big blind who made the call.

Jensen {9-Spades}

Affleck

Shou

The board came {A-Clubs}

, meaning Affleck won the big main pot, and Shou the teeny tiny side pot -- just 2,000.

McLaughlin Can't Stop Playing Pots

[user75032]

Marc McLaughlin was mixed up in the thick of it again. On the river of a {8-Spades}

board, he faced a bet of 300,000 from Jeff Duvall.

McLaughlin seemed unsure what to do. He asked the dealer to spread the pot, which looked to contain about 850,000 chips. Then he gazed across the table at Duvall.

"Do you want a call?" McLaughlin asked. There was no response from Duvall, but McLaughlin seemed to find his answer anyway. He called, then mucked when Duvall showed {A-Hearts}

.

McLaughlin has slipped to 1.63 million.

Ivey on the Move!

[user66118]

Before the flop, Hac Dang opened with a raise to 80,000. Halfway around the table, Phil Ivey three-bet it up to 260,000 with postition. Dang then moved all in for about 620,000, and Ivey quietly made the call to put him at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Dang: {Q-Spades}

Ivey:

You know the rest of the story. The flop rolled out {J-Spades}

, drawing a huge reaction from the cheering squad assembled on the ledge. The {5-Clubs}

and

that filled out the board did nothing to save Dang, and he's been sent to the rail courtesy of Ivey's two-out jack. With that knockout, Phil is all the way up to 3,260,000.
