Elezra Quarters Porter in a Big Pot

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Picking up the action on a flop of {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Rep Porter had 18,000 out in front of him before Eli Elezra made a pot-size raise to 60,000. Porter mulled it over for a bit before calling.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and, after a check from Porter, Elezra moved all in for 64,500. Porter dropped into the tank.

"I don't even know what I want," Elezra said after about a minute. "If you have jacks full..."

"If I had jacks full it'd already be in," Porter said.

"What about threes full?" Elezra asked. "I know what you got. You have ace-deuce of spades."

Porter smiled, then eventually decided to call.

Rep Porter: {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Eli Elezra: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and that meant that Elezra would get three-quarters of the pot with his aces and ace-deuce.

Aces vs. Aces; Bohlman Goes From Winning it All to Chopping

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Scott Bohlman (small blind) and Dustin Dirksen (middle position) got it in after a series of bets and raises for roughly 195,000 each.

Bohlman: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Dirksen: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, giving both the nut low draw while giving Bohlman a flush draw. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, giving Bohlman a flush, but the river was the {2-Clubs} to give both players deuces full of aces to chop the pot.

Nut Low Flush for Kelsall

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Andrew Kelsall raised on the button to 9,000 and he found calls from Eli Elezra in the small blind and Brian Rast in the big blind.

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and all three players checked.

They checked again on the {Q-Spades} turn. On the {7-Spades} river, all three players checked one more time.

"Nines," Elezra said.

"Queen," Rast said.

"Flush," Kelsall said. He showed his {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the smallest flush possible, but it was good for him to earn the pot as the other two just mucked their hands.

Gamble Sends Wong to the Rail

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Nathan Gamble opened with a raise before Danny Wong announced a "pot" from the small blind, making it 31,000. Gamble called and it was on to a flop.

The flop was {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Wong shoved for about 32,000 more. Gamble called instantly.

Nathan Gamble: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Danny Wong: {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The board completed with the {9-Hearts} and {K-Clubs} and though Gamble didn't make a flush, his ace-jack was best for him to take down the pot and send Wong home from the tournament.

Engel and Brookshire Chop Up Radanov

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

On a turn of {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, Damjan Radanov was all in. David Brookshire was all in over the top of that with a covering stack and Engel had both players covered in the hand and called.

David Brookshire: {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Ari Engel: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Damjan Radanov: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Engel held top set while Brookshire had the nut low. Radanov had the worst of it with just a straight draw and a pair of aces, as well as a bad low. The river was the {4-Clubs} and that meant that Brookshire would take the low end of the pot. Engel locked up the high portion with his set and Radanov was sent home with the worst of the three hands.
