The flop came {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Frankenberger continued for 33,000. Rackley considered his options for about two minutes before shoving for 160,000 total. Frankenberger called.

Henry Rackley: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Andy Frankenberger: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Rackley was sent to the rail.

Legat Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Hu's Aces

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Simon Legat was in a heads-up pot against Anthony Hu and all of the chips got in the middle on the flop of {7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, with Hu being the player at risk.

Anthony Hu: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Simon Legat: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Hu was in great shape to double up with his superior overpair, but the board ran out {9-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for Legat to hit a runner-runner straight and win the pot, eliminating Hu in the process.

"Absolutely brutal," someone at the table commented.

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With around 70,000 already in the middle on the {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, Jordan Meltzer bet 21,000 from the small blind. Johnnie Moreno called from the button.

On the {6-Spades} turn, Meltzer continued for 42,000. Moreno called after roughly 30 seconds.

On the {2-Spades} river, Meltzer went into the tank for roughly two minutes and settled on a bet of 172,000. Moreno then went into the tank himself for just under three minutes before opting to click the fold button.
