Mike Wattel

Mike Wattel was all in from the big blind with three other players still in the hand.

The flop {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} checked to Robert Slezak who bet and Richard Ashby called. The turn {q-Spades} was checked and Ashby checked the {8-Spades} river.

Ashby tank-called and Slezak showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the nut low and a pair of sevens. Wattel's {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} went into the muck and Ashby flashed what looked like {a-}{k-}{j-}{4-} and mucked.

Jake Schwartz
Jake Schwartz

Jake Schwartz chopped with Robert Campbell and remained aggressive to see Shaun Deeb come along. Schwartz bet the turn and river of a board {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} and Deeb reluctantly called on the river.

Schwartz tabled {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Deeb won the pot with the {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-}.

"I had the nut Badugi," Schwartz joked with a big smile on the face.

Frankie O'Dell raised the button and Yarron Bendor came along from the big blind. One further bet each went in after the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop, the {3-Spades} turn and {a-Diamonds} river were checked.

Bendor tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a pair of kings and O'Dell had that beat with {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} to jump above a million, while Bendor dropped below half a million.

Level 19 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Frankie O'Dell raised under the gun and Richard Ashby raised from the big blind and was all in.

Frankie O'Dell: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Richard Ashby: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Ashby flopped top pair on the {2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop but the {3-Diamonds} improved O'Dell to a wheel. Ashby was already out of his seat and leaving the tournament area as the {8-Hearts} hit on the river.
