Yoon Turns a Set to Stay Alive

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

After a raise to 1,100 from middle position, Suk-Min Yoon wasted no time before moving all in for 11,000. Action folded back around to middle position, where the opponent made the call with Yoon covered.

Suk-Min Yoon: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Yoon was ahead, but that changed quickly when the {6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop paired his opponent's ace. Yoon let out a loud "Fuck me!" and stood up, preparing for his departure from the table. When the {k-Clubs} came on the turn to give Yoon a set, he let out a big sigh of relief and sat back down before the {2-Diamonds} river hit, changing nothing. Despite the rollercoaster, Yoon survived and doubled up.

McCray Knocks Out Heinzl

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on the {5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop with around 4,500 in the pot. Joshua Heinzl fired from middle position for 2,500, getting calls from Ricky McCray on the button and from the player in the small blind.

On the {8-Clubs} turn, Heinzl continued for 4,200, again getting calls from McCray and the small blind.

Heinzl moved all in for 14,100 on the {4-Diamonds} river. McCray, with Heinzl covered, made the call before the small blind got out of the way.

Joshua Heinzl: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Ricky McCray: {10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}

McCray had rivered the nut flush to bust Heinzl's kings and send him to the rail.

Dukes Takes Aces on Rollercoaster Ride

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

After some back and forth raising, Frank Dukes and his opponent ended up getting it all in before the flop, with Dukes at risk.

Frank Dukes: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

"Ok I need a lot of help, dealer," said the player with kings.

And just like that the {k-Spades} was right in the window of a {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. Dukes looked like we was about to be sick as he shook his head in disbelief.

But the {10-Spades} turn gave Dukes hope as he only needed one more spade to hit a flush.

Dukes must have appeased the poker gods because he got his wish when the {5-Spades} smacked down on the river, winning him the pot in a sudden turn of events.

Henderson Eliminates Pardy

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Action folded to Jonathan Pardy in the small blind. He moved all in with a stack below 20 big blinds. Hugh Henderson made the snap call from the big blind with Pardy covered.

Jonathan Pardy: {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Hugh Henderson: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

With Pardy already well behind, the flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, which gave Pardy a flush draw, but gave Henderson the nut flush draw. The {j-Diamonds} turn gave Henderson a pair, and left Pardy drawing incredibly thin, needing a non-club 9 for a chopped pot in order to stay alive. That didn't happen, however, as the {6-Spades} arrived on the river, knocking out Pardy. Henderson scooped the pot to add to his stack, which is among the largest in the field.
