Ari Engel
Ari Engel

Picking up the action on a completed board of {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Ari Engel led out with a bet of 480,000 from the big blind. Matthew Su shoved all in, putting Engel to the test for the 550,000 chips he had behind.

Engel thought for over a minute and then splashed in some chips to signify a call. Su flipped over {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for the nut flush while Engel held {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for a slightly smaller flush.

McDermott Doubles Up

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Timothy McDermott
Timothy McDermott

A player opened to 130,000 from middle position and was called by a player in late position, Timothy McDermott then moved all in out of the big blind. The middle position player asked for a count and, after being told the shove was for 905,000, made the call. The late position player got out of the way and McDermott was officially at risk.

Timothy McDermott: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Middle Position Player: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

McDermott was flipping and would need to hit to survive. No help came on the {2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop but the {a-Hearts} turn propelled the at risk player into the lead. The {5-Spades} river completed the board, prompting McDermott to exclaim "come on mama!" as he secured the full double.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Brian Rast
Brian Rast

Brian Rast opened to 120,000 and Jon Gisler called in the hijack.

Rast continued for 130,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop and Gisler called. The turn was the {j-Hearts} and Rast sized up for 625,000. Gisler then shoved all in, covering Rast.

Rast had 1,675,000 and muttered to himself while counting out his stack before eventually calling.

Brian Rast: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Jon Gisler: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Rast held top pair but had been undone by the two pair of Gisler. The river {7-Hearts} bricked and the five-time WSOP bracelet-winner was sent to the rail.

Christophe De Meulder
Christophe De Meulder

Christophe De Meulder ended up getting his remaining stack of approximately 700,000 in from the big blind and was at risk against Michael Rocco in the small blind.

Christophe De Meulder: {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Michael Rocco: {k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop gave both players a piece but put Rocco well ahead with trip deuces, and the {9-Spades} and {a-Clubs} confirmed the result to send De Meulder to the rail.

Michael Pickett: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
