Clements Comes Out On Top

Level 7 : 250/500, 125 ante

No-Limit 5 Card Draw

David "ODB" Baker raised to 1,500 and both Chris Vitch and Scott Clements called. Baker drew two, Vitch pitched in one card and Clements drew three.

Zinno Doubles Through Zack

Level 7 : 250/500, 125 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball

Dan Zack moved all in from under the gun for 7,600. It folded to Anthony Zinno in the big blind who called all in for his last 4,675.

Both players drew one.

Dan Zack: {10-}{8-}{7-}{3-}
Anthony Zinno: {9-}{8-}{3-}{2-}

"Draw a ten," said Zack, and Zinno drew a {10-}. Zack peeled his card revealing that he was 50:50.

He turned over a {3-} to pair and Zinno doubled up.

Adam Owen

No-Limit 5 Card Draw

It folded around to Alex Foxen on the big blind. Foxen put in a bet of 1,200 and Adam Owen pushed all-in for 9,525. Foxen decided on a call and Owen announced he was drawing three. Foxen drew two and they opened up their hands.

Adam Owen: {J-}{J-}{J-}
Alex Foxen: {K-}{K-}

Owen immediately opened up {Q-}{5-} and Foxen needed to catch a king. He revealed the {8-} and {2-} so his only hope was the final card he was dealt, but that was the {4-} to double up Owen.
