Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded around to Aaron Massey in the small blind and he opted to move all in for right around 140,000. Jeff Madsen was in the big, asked for a count, and then squeezed out his cards.

"Call," he said after looking down at something he liked.

Madsen:
Massey:

Massey was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. The flop wasn't what he was looking for, and neither was the turn. Massey needed either a queen or seven on the river to survive, but it was not meant to be as the blanked.

Massey exited in 31st place for $15,148.

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded around to Sam Trickett in the small blind and he simply moved all in to put Michael Ferrell to the test in the big. Ferrell liked his cards and wasted little time in calling off for 140,000.

Ferrell:
Trickett:

It was a flip, but the proverbial coin did not come down in Ferrell's favor as the board ran out to give Trickett a winning flush. Ferrell will take home $15,148 for his 32nd-place finish.

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Josh Bergman was all in preflop for 103,000, and Kyle Bowker, who had him covered by just a single T1,000 chip, made the call.

Bergman:
Bowker:

Bowker got it in good, but the flop gave Bergman the lead. The turn was no help to Bowker, and neither was the river.

Bowker managed to turn his 1,000 into 8,000 by winning the next hand, which turned into 29,000 when he won the hand after that. He's working on his own "a chip and a chair" story.
