Tommy Le-liminated

Over on table 369, Tommy Le got the last of his money into the middle before the flop with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and found himself in great shape to double up against Michael "Timex" McDonald, who had called with {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

However, Timex spiked two pair on the flop of {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, which improved to a bigger two pair after the turn and river ran out {Q-Hearts}, {J-Clubs}. With that, Le's off to the cage to pick up his cash, while McDonald now sits on 380,000 in chips.

Shortway Scores Knockout

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

We came into the action on a flop of {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} with Jani Sointula all in, Danny Fuhs re-raisied pot, and Robert Shortway did the same, putting himself all in. The three flipped up their cards to see the turn and river.

Sointula: {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Shortway: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Fuhs: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Spades}

The board in totality was {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Shortway took it down with a set of eights on the river. Sointula busted, Fuhs fell down to 150,000, and Shortway more than tripled up to 212,000
