Eidenschink Wins Multiway Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action was joined in a four-way pot on a flop of 3♠2♠4♦. It checked to Allen Kessler on the button who put out a bet of 25,000. The hijack made the call and Thomas Eidenschink in the cutoff also came along.
The turn brought a board pairing 3♦ and the action checked through.
The 9♠ landed on the river and the player in the hijack quickly bet out for 152,000. Eidenschink went into the tank for a moment but eventually made the call. Kessler seemed skeptical but eventually folded pocket sevens face up.
The hijack shook his head and acknowledged a nice call as he turned over Q♦10♦ for a missed flush draw. Eidenschink turned over J♠8♠ for a rivered flush.

Run Bad Chad Takes it on the Chin
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chad Olivera, who earlier lost with aces full to runner-runner quads, thought his luck had changed when he got all his chips in against Leonard Clementi
Chad Olivera: A♥A♣
Leonard Clementi: 6♥6♦
The board ran out 2♠J♦K♣3♥ and Olivera looked nailed on for a double up — but a 6♣ on the river ended his tournament in the cruelest way.
Seemingly unfazed, Olivera stood up, shrugged and smiled --- and made his way to the payout desk.
