Ferguson Quarters Berilgen

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Jason Berilgen opened under the gun for pot and Chris Ferguson repotted in the small blind.

"All right," Berilgen said with a sigh, putting in his last 145,000. "Not happy about it."

Jason Berilgen: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Chris Ferguson: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}, so both played ace-king on the high half but Ferguson took the low with ace-three.

Marco Johnson raised to 40,000 from under the gun. Jason Berilgen moved all in for 102,000 from the button. Abdel Hamid thought about it in the big blind before folding.

Marco Johnson: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Jason Berilgen: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Berilgen called for another nine. The turn, however, was the {a-Clubs} giving Johnson top pair and the nut low. The river was the {6-Clubs} and Berilgen was eliminated.

Straight Flush for the Chop

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Chad Power
Chad Power

The flop came {9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and it was three-way action at Table 431. The first two players checked to Chad Power on the button, and he bet 66,000. Marco Johnson potted in the small blind for 262,000, the third player mucked and Power said he was all in. Johnson quickly called off his 200,000 or so.

Marco Johnson: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Chad Power: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

"Oh man, all the club blockers," Power said. "I'm in rough shape against that hand."

He implored the dealer for a low card and got one: the {4-Clubs}, giving him the nut flush. Johnson slid his chair back to exit but an {8-Clubs} river stopped him in his tracks as he made a straight flush, with Power getting a runner-runner low to chop.

The two agreed it was a fair result.

"Both of them did their pro move," someone else said. "He said he was in rough shape and he got up."

Yang Wang: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Andreas Klatt: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The turn and river were both tens coming {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} as Wang's top pair held and he scooped to double through Klatt.

McKenna Busts Gamble and Josephy in Monster Pot

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Michael McKenna
Michael McKenna

Five players built a pot of nearly 300,000 preflop and it came {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Nathan Gamble potted in the big blind, Cliff Josephy piled in the next seat for about 260,000 and Michael McKenna repotted in the next spot. It folded back to Gamble and he called off his last 40,000 or so.

Nathan Gamble: {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Cliff Josephy: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}
Michael McKenna: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

McKenna had flopped the nuts and covered everyone. The {a-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} river only made his straight bigger and he sent Gamble and Josephy to the rail as they failed to improve top two and a combo draw, respectively.

Shack-Harris Gets Quartered

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

On a {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board, Brandon Shack-Harris checked to Michel Abecassis who bet pot for 136,000. Shack-Harris check-raised all in and Abecassis called.

Brandon Shack-Harris: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Michel Abecassis: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Both players held the nut low, a pair of threes and flush draws, but Shack-Harris's was bigger. However, the river {q-Spades} bricked out and Shack-Harris ended up getting a quarter of the pot.
