Korbin fired again on fifth and Clements just called this time along with Myerson. The action checked around on sixth and on seventh the action checked to Myserson who tossed in a bet. Korbin frustratingly mucked his cards and Clements called.

Myserson flipped over {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Spades} for a flush and a seven-low hand. Clements looked back at his cards, hoping they would change but he was forced to send his hand to the muck as well. Myserson scooped the pot to climb over 100,000 for the first time today.

Radanov and Woodward Running Away with the Lead

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Damjan Radanov has been leading the tournament since the last couple of levels on Day 1 and has not looked back since. However, Matt Woodward has caught fire recently and is making a push for the lead.

Omaha Hi-Lo

After a raise from middle position, Woodward called from the cutoff and the big blind tagged along as well. The flop came {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and the action checked to Woodward who tossed in a bet. The big blind was the only one to call and they went heads-up to the {9-Clubs} on the turn.

Both players checked and the {q-Clubs} hit the river. The big blind checked one more time and Woodward fired in a bet. His opponent thought for a good minute before finally making the call. Woodward turned over {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for trip fours and raked in the pot.

Meanwhile at another table, Radanov was heads-up with an opponent who was all in on fourth street playing Razz. Radanov reeled off a seven-four low to eliminate his opponent and climb over 300,000 chips.
