Croffut Doubles Through Hodge

Adam Croffut opened from under the gun and was faced with a re-raised to 75,000 from Sean Hodge on the button. Croffut called.

The flop fell {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Croffut instantly moved all in for 172,000. Hodge called.

"You have a pair?" Croffut asked sheepishly.

"Yup," Hodge said opening {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Croffut showed a better pair, {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and his jacks held after the turn and river came {10-Clubs}, {6-Diamonds} respectively.

Hodge slipped to 295,000 chips while Croffut doubled through to 515,000.

Odell Takes Chip Lead from Trickett

With the board reading {3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades}, action checked to Samuel Trickett who bet 58,000. Kevin Odell called and all other parties folded.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Trickett tanked for over a minute before firing 84,000. Odell quickly moved all in. Unhappy, Trickett clenched his fists before sweating his cards one more time and releasing them.

"Ace-queen of clubs!" tablemate Alex Outhred blurted.

His prodding worked, because Odell showed {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a winning flush. Trickett slipped to just below 500,000 chips and Odell is our leader with 690,000

Jakobsson Receives Courtesy Double

Sean Hodge opened to 30,000 on the button and Johan Jakobsson moved all in for over 200,000. Hodge opted to make the call.

Showdown
Hodge: {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Jakobsson: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop was very good for Jakobsson, but the {6-Clubs} on the turn kept Hodge alive with a gutshot straight draw. The {a-Spades} on the river was no help however, and Jakobsson doubled to 460,000 chips.

Hodge's mistake has him crippled to 90,000 chips.

Trickett: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Trickett held when the board ran {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}, eliminating Safieddine from the tournament. Trickett's our chip leader again with 835,000 to his name.

Wilder Wins Biggest Pot of Tourney

Jesse Rockowitz opened the action from the hijack seat and Larry Wilder re-raised from the big blind to around 80,000. When asked to pull the bets in, the dealer couldn't quite do it and both Josh "brikdog24" Brikis and Tim "tmay420" West tried to help her. She wouldn't listen. Finally, after the floor was called, the bet was pulled in correctly and Rockowitz made the call.

The flop fell {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Wilder almost instantly moved all in for 430,000. Rockowitz snapped it off.

Showdown
Wilder: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Rockowitz: {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Rockowitz looked sick to his stomach. Over one million chips were on the line as the dealer delivered a brick on the turn; the {3-Diamonds}.

The {4-Spades} on the river hit Rockowitz where it hurt though, and Wilder doubled to 1,020,000 chips.

Rockowitz is still healthy with 430,000 chips, but was a fade away from 1,500,000.
