"That's a Big Pot"

Iakov Nepomnyashchiy raised from under the gun, and received a call from Justin Pechie as well as Eric Crain. William Soffin in the big blind then two bet. All players called, and four of the five players left at Table 289 got to see a {2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop. Nepomnyashchiy bet again and received a call from Pechie. Short stacked Soffin made the call and was all in.

With the {2-} on the turn Nepomnyashchiy bet and was all in. Pechie said "that's a big pot" and made the call.

Pechi: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Nepomnyashchiy: {K-Spades}{2-Spades}
Soffin: unknown

Soffin never flipped his cards and simply threw them in the muck, and was eliminated. Pechie would need a king on the river in order to simply chop the pot. He received no such luck as the {q-Hearts} rolled off the deck for the river.

Corkins Eliminated

Hoyt Corkins moved all in from middle position and received three callers. On a {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop Dale Eberle was able to cut some dead weight with a series of raises between him and David Speicher lead to Todd Wittleles folding. The {A-Diamonds} on fourth street brought another bet from Edberle and a fold from Speicher.

Corkins: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Eberle: {A-}{k-}

Corkins would need to catch a four in order to stay in this tournament. The river {8-Diamonds} was no use to Corkins and he was eliminated.

Parker & Engel Play Big Hands

Level 3 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Brock Parker and Ari Engel both had big hands in the last pot they played. They went to a flop of {Q-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, Parker bet, Englel raised and Parker called. The turn came {K-Clubs}, Parker bet and Engel called. The river fell {K-Diamonds}, Parker bet and Engel called. See a pattern there?

Engel tabled {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} and Parker broke his usual straight face with a smile and tabled {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. They chopped up the pot and it's the second time we've seen pocket aces dealt to two players in the same hand.
