Ball's Chips Go to Dragoo, Not Black

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

Scott Ball was all in from early position for his last 80,000 and Scott Dragoo re-shoved two seats to his left. Action folded to Daryl Black, who went into the tank.

"You've been wanting to get my chips all day. Now's your chance," Ball said to Black.

Black eventually called and tabled {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Ball had {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, while Dragoo showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. Black's pocket sixes stayed ahead through the turn on a board of {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, but the {a-Clubs} on the river paired both Ball and Dragoo.

Dragoo's queen-kicker played and Ball was eliminated, while Dragoo doubled through Black.

Petit secured the knockout when the {3-Hearts} came on the river.

William Lahti put in 70,000 pre-flop before Anthony Golodner moved all in for 185,000. The player in the big blind called and action came back to Lahti.

"This is the nittiest fold ever," Lahti said as he claimed to have folded {j-}{j-}

Golodner was in a coin flip with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} against {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and came out on the winning side when the board ran out {k-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

"Results-oriented that was a good fold," Lahti said as he would've lost to Golodner's pair of kings.
