With the board reading , action checked to Samuel Trickett who bet 58,000. Kevin Odell called and all other parties folded.
The turn was the 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 for a winning flush. Trickett slipped to just below 500,000 chips and Odell is our leader with 690,000
Justin Conley opened to 20,000 from under the gun and found three callers in Simon Ravnsbaek, Peter Dawson, and Francois Safieddine, the latter in the big blind.

Tran angrily splashed the remainder of his chips into the pot before standing up from his chair.
"I folded an ace," tablemate Josh Brikis said. Someone else admitted to folding a jack as well.
"Oh really? That's awesome," Tran said with a sarcastic tone.
Meerkreebs silently stacked his newfound chips, and now sits with 435,000.
Andrew Song is one of a handful of players who have bitten the dust of late, the others being Anthony Consumano, Andras Kovacs, and the flamboyantly named (although I expect he would have been nicknamed 'control v' within media circles) Zsolt Cserhati.
