Nishi Doubles Through Watson

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

The flop was out and it read {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. It was checked to Mike Watson who bet 1,625 and only Michael Nishi wanted to get involved, raising it up to 4,000. Watson upped it again, setting Nishi all-in and it was a snap-call.

Michael Nishi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Mike Watson: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Watson needed hearts or running straight cards to turn the hand around. The {2-Diamonds} turn and {4-Spades} river bricked and Nishi scooped the double, whilst Watson is left extremely short.

Silver Downed by Moreno

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante
Max Silver (from a previous event)
Max Silver (from a previous event)

Max Silver moved all-in for 2,275 chips in middle position. He was called by David Moreno in the small blind and everyone else passed.

David Moreno: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Max Silver: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

It was bad news for Silver, who had run into Moreno's pocket aces. He needed something pretty special but the {3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} runout couldn't help him and he hit the rail.
