Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
John Racener
John Racener

The action folded around to Jeremy Ausmus in the small blind who has been running over his table since the beginning of the day. Ausmus announced all in, putting John Racener in the big blind to the test for his last 33,600 chips. Racener looked down at his cards and slid a stack of chips into the middle to make the call.

John Racener: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Jeremy Ausmus: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Racener held a dominating position over Ausmus and the flop came {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Ausmus picked up a straight draw but the {5-Clubs} on the turn and the {5-Hearts} on the river were of no help. Racener held on to double up and put a small dent in the stack of Ausmus.

Hinds Makes a Move and Gets Lucky

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Darren Rabinowitz opened from the cutoff and Henri Hinds three-bet to 13,000 on the button. Esther Taylor was in the small blind and four-bet shoved all in for 33,500. Rabinowitz quickly folded but Hinds was left with a decision. He asked for a count and then weighed his options, eventually deciding to make the call.

Henri Hinds: {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Esther Taylor: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"I have two live cards," Hinds said with joy. The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Hinds picked up a flush draw to go with his two live cards. The turn brought the {5-Clubs}, giving Hinds a flush but Taylor still had a bigger flush draw. The {5-Spades} on the river was not what Taylor was looking for as she was sent to the payout desk at the hands of Hinds.
