Hizer Out-Flops Jackson to Double

Level 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

David Jackson raised to 1,200,000 from early position before Paul Hizer moved all in for 10,175,000 in the cutoff. Jackson quickly called.

Paul Hizer: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
David Jackson: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Hizer was dominated and at risk, but not for long. The {4-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop gave him both top pair and the nut flush draw.

"Oh shit. Flopped him dead," tablemate Ari Oxman said.

Looking for two outs, Jackson didn't get it on the {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} turn and river to hand over the pot to Hizer.

Brian Weaver

Action started when Chak Lam Tsang open-jammed from under the gun for 2,000,000. It folded to Brian Weaver in middle position who went all in over the top for 4,400,000 and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Chak Lam Tsang: {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Brian Weaver: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Tsang said before revealing his hand that he didn't look at his cards before jamming. The flop brought a sweat when it came {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, but the turn {9-Diamonds} and river {10-Diamonds} sealed the deal for Weaver as he eliminated Tsang and gained more chips to his growing stack.

Level 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

David Jackson, the last remaining bracelet winner in the field, called a three-bet from big blind Alon Guttman and went heads-up to a {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop.

Guttman checked over to Jackson, who bet 2,000,000. Guttman called, then check-called another bet of 3,800,000 on the {6-Spades} turn.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and this time Guttman led out for 3,800,000. Jackson announced all in for around 13,000,000 more, sending Guttman into the tank for about two minutes before he released his hand.
