Micky Blasi: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player under the gun limped, along with the hijack, the cutoff, and the small blind. Ryan Drossel, in the big blind, checked.

The flop was {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The small blind checked, then Drossel bet 4,500, and only the hijack called. The turn brought the {3-Clubs}. Drossel continued for 8,500, and the hijack called again.

The {k-Spades} filled up the river and Drossel threw in a bet of 22,000. His opponent snap-called. Drossel showed {6-Spades}{4-Hearts} for trips. His opponent commented ''Nice hand,'' while throwing his hand in the muck.

Ian O'Hara opened from the hijack and Matthew Leecy defended from the big blind. The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and both players checked to the {a-Hearts} on the turn.

Leecy led out for 3,800 and O'Hara called to see the {j-Diamonds} on the river. Leecy fired another bet of 8,800 and O'Hara wasted little time before making the call. Leecy flipped over {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a full house and O'Hara sent his cards to the muck.

Marquez Sends Huber to the Rail

Adam Lamers
Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Stefan Huber raised it up to 2,600 from the hijack and Ana Marquez three-bet to 6,500 out of the small blind. The action was back on Huber who shipped all in for just under 30,000 and Marquez snapped him off.

Ana Marquez: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Stefan Huber: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Marquez was in a dominating position and when the flop fell {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Huber was left drawing extremely slim. The {7-Spades} on the turn sealed the deal and the {k-Clubs} on the river was just a formality as Huber exited the tournament area.
