Just before James Mackey busted Dan O'Brien he got the best of Valdemar Kwaysser. We missed the hand but know that Mackey was holding and had fallen behind Kwaysser's when Kwaysser made a pair on the turn. However, Mackey was able to find a flush on the river, putting his total kill count up to two for the day.
James Mackey raised to 1,100 and then called his opponent's all-in shove worth 4,500. The all-in player was Dan O'Brien. Mackey held the and O'Brien the .
The flop ran out and O'Brien picked up a pair of tens to take the lead. The turn card brought the though and just like that, Mackey snatched back the lead. The river completed the board with the and wasn't the help O'Brien needed.
O'Brien was sent to the rail as Mackey improved to 33,000 chips.

Alexander Kravchenko: (X)(X) /

Joe Serock: /
This hand turned out to be a wild one. It started when Smith completed, Kravchenko called, and Schwartz raised, with Serock, Smith and Kravchenko calling the three-bet.
On fourth street we only had one bet, coming from Schwartz with everyone calling. Schwartz went all in with a bet on fifth street and was called by Serock before Smith raised. This led Kravchenko to fold, but Serock stuck around.
Serock check-called bets from Smith on sixth street as well as seventh street but found himself shut out of the hand when Smith showed the best low and Schwratz the best high with two pair.
Picking up the action on fifth street, Shulman fired and Lunkin made the call. Shulman then checked sixth and Lunkin checked behind. On seventh street, Shulman called a bet from Lunkin.
Lunkin tabled the for trip sixes and Shulman mucked his hand. Lunkin chipped up to about 13,000 while Shulman dropped back to 11,700.

Rowsome started the hand off by completing on third street with Amaral making the call. Rowsome also led out with bets on fourth and fifth streets, again with Amaral calling.
On sixth street it was Amaral who got things started with a bet and called when raised by Rowsome. Amaral bet once more on the river, and this time Rowsome elected simply to call.
Amaral had the low taken care of, but Rowsome's aces took the high for a split pot.
