McClelland Takes a Chunk From Gahshan
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Hunter McClelland raised from early position to 225,000 with 6♠6♦ and he was called by Wissam Gahshan seated directly to his left with Q♦9♦. The other folded and the 8♣5♥4♠ flop was dealt.
McClelland checked this time and Gahshan took over the betting initiative with a bet of 325,000. McClelland called to see the 2♠ on the turn.
McClelland check-called another bet of 500,000 on the turn and the 4♥ completed the board, only for the initial raiser to check again. Gahshan continued the aggression by betting 850,000 and a snap call by McClelland followed whose pocket pair of sixes were good enough to win the hand.

Gregory Wins Four-Way Pot
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Brent Gregory raised under the gun to 200,000 with A♥Q♣ and he was called by Wissam Gahshan from the cutoff with K♠10♠. Ronnie Day from the button with A♣7♣, and big blind Patrick White also called with J♣4♣.
The Q♠J♦6♠ flop was dealt and Gregory continued with a bet of 350,000 after White checked. Gahshan flopped an open-ended straight draw and flush draw and called while both Day and White got out of the way.
The 8♦ turn came out and Gregory fired another bet. This time he sized up to 450,000 and Gahshan called yet again.
The river was 6♥ completing the board as it bricked out for Gahshan and Gregory put in a hefty 800,000 but that was too much for Gahshan who got out of the way and Gregory started stacking.
