"I Don't Think You Have It"

Michael Minetti raised from the button to 12,000 only to have Jake Wells reraise to 24,000 from the big blind. Minetti made the call and the flop came {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Both players checked to the turn when the {4-Hearts} hit. Again, both players checked. Wells then moved all in for 115,000 when the {8-Clubs} came on the river. Minetti immediately stood from his chair and began to think it over. He was in the tank for a solid four minutes and said, "I don't think you have it."

He finally joked, "I don't have a full house." He then made the call and Herskovic muttered, "Good call," as he turned over {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

Minetti won the pot with {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and increased his stack to around 300,000. Wells was eliminated from the tournament.

"You Have One Over . . . Not Anymore."

Michael Mueller moved all in preflop for his last 16,000 and was called by Robert Cain. The two turned over their cards:

Cain: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Mueller: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

"You have one over," said another player as the flop came {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}, "Not anymore." Indeed, Mueller was in big trouble against top set. "You've got a straight draw," the same player announced.

Sure enough, the {K-Spades} on the turn gave Mueller the said straight. All he needed to do now was avoid the board pairing and he would double up. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Mueller did just that, although he is still short sitting with under 40,000.

Spadavecchia Gets Lucky

Jeffrey Taylor raised to 12,000 in early position and was called by the player on the button. Action was on John Spadavecchia in the big blind and he pushed all in for 47,100 more. Taylor instantly called and the button mucked.

Spadavecchia was in bad shape when he revealed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} which was way behind Taylor's {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Spadavecchia slapped the table in celebration when the {Q-Clubs} was the window card on the flop. His excitement quickly died down however when the queen was followed by the {K-Spades} and {J-Clubs}.

The {3-Clubs} on the turn gave Spadavecchia a draw to the nut flush and, wouldn't you know it, the river was the {10-Clubs}. Spadavecchia again slapped the table in celebration. Taylor, who didn't realize his opponent made the flush, reached over to shake Spadavecchia's hand thinking he had slapped the table in frustration.

Taylor's misconception was quickly pointed out by the other players and he threw up his arms as if to say, "What can I do?" Meanwhile, Spadavecchia is up to around 140,000.
