Shaun Deeb: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Mikko Hirvonen: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Deeb bricked the river and hit the rail, his straight having been cracked by queens full.

At the next table over, Felipe Ramos went bust as well in a hand against Craig Chait.

Hennigan Doubles Through Horowitz

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

The board read {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and John Hennigan faced an all-in shove from Scott Horowitz, who covered Hennigan's 10,900. "Johnny World" quickly called since he held {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for top two, and Horowitz tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and shipped the double when the {q-Spades} landed on the river.

Jyri Merivirta

Badugi

Maria Ho opened to 2,000 in the cutoff before Alex Foxen three-bet the button. Jyri Merivirta called in the big blind, as did Ho, before each player drew one.

Action checked to Foxen and he bet 1,000. Merivirta and Ho both called, and each player drew one again.

Merivirta now led out for 2,000 and Ho folded as Foxen called. Merivirta stood pat, and Foxen drew one.

Merivirta bet 2,000, and Foxen called.

Merivirta fanned his {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} for the third best hand in the game, and Foxen couldn't beat it.
