Higher Flush for Boney

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Boney called for 1,000 and it was raised to 3,000 by the player next to him. It folded back to Boney who called.

Both players checked on a flop {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Boney check-called his opponent for 2,500 when the {3-Diamonds} appeared on the turn.

A {4-Diamonds} gave a flush on the board on the river and Boney quickly check-called his opponent again for 5,000. Boney tabled {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and took down the pot after his opponent showed {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Blind On Blind Action

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were two limpers in late position but when the action got to John Fitzpatrick in the small blind he raised to 5,000. Joe Deandrade woke up with a hand in the small blind and moved all-in for around 35,000.

The action folded back to Fitzpatrick who made the call.

Joe Deandrade: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
John Fitzpatrick: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board ran out: {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

Deandrade came from behind only to smash a set of tens on the turn and crack the pocket aces of Fitzpatrick for a full double up.

Lucky Turn for King

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop showing {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} with a pot already containing around 17,000, Clarence King checked in the big blind and faced a bet worth 20,000 from his opponent, with 15,000 left behind. King went deep into the tank and opted to move all in after the clock has been called. His opponent quickly called with his last chips and they revealed their cards:

Clarence King: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

King had the dominated hand, but a {q-Spades} showed up on the turn, giving him a set of queens. The {3-Clubs} river didn't change anything and King eliminated his opponent from the event.
