Mosher Makes Flush

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 19,000 in the pot on a board of {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Drew Mosher put out a bet of 14,000 and his opponent thought about it and ultimately decided to call. His opponent threw his cards into the muck when Mosher showed {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a rivered flush to chip up and get over the 100,000 chip mark.

Chaput Flops the Wheel to Crack Aces

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Tracy Chaput moved all in pre-flop for her final 5,800 holding {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Her opponent snap-called and showed her {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, leaving her in bad shape with her tournament life on the line.

The {5-}{4-}{3-} flop, though, gave her new life as she flopped a wheel and left her opponent needing help to split the pot. The turn and river gave him no relief, and Chaput doubled to 14,100.

Lee's Nut Flush Beats Straight

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

According to Gene Lee, a player in early position had raised, another player three-bet to 2,400, and Lee called from the cutoff, as did the player in the big blind and the original raiser.

The four players saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Lee was checked to and he bet 2,400. Only the big blind called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and after the big blind player checked, Lee went all in for 18,000 chips. The big blind player eventually called and hands were shown.

Gene Lee: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Big Blind Player: {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The big blind player flopped top pair and a gutshot straight draw which he made on the turn, but the turn card also gave Lee the nut flush and ensured he would win the hand to stay alive and chip up as the meaningless {a-Spades} completed the board.

There was nearly 20,000 in the pot on a board of {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} when Chris Gallagher, who finished seventh in this event in 2017, bet around 10,000 from the big blind. Chris Bowen called from early position and they saw a {9-Clubs} river.

Gallagher put out another big bet, around 15,000, and this time Bowen laid his hand down.

Gallagher is up to 84,000 while Bowen, who started the hand with 83,000, drops down to around 70,000.

The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Richards's opponent shoved for 13,000.

"I want to call," Richards said before mucking as his opponent showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} to take the pot.
