Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mitchell Hynam three-bet all in from the button. John Riordan called form middle position.

Mitchell Hynam: A♥A♦ All in
John Riordan: Q♥Q♠

Hynam didn't need to connect with the board to take it down, as the runout 7♣7♠8♠9♣2♥ didn't give Riordan any help, and left him shortstacked.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Brian Barnes jammed for 22,000 from early position and was called by Aaron Frei on the button to put him at risk.

Brian Barnes: A♦3♦ All in
Aaron Frei: K♠Q♠

Barnes held the lead, and the flop did not compromise that lead as it fanned out 7♠2♣J♠.

The lead vanished when the Q♥ spiked the turn to put Frei in front.

The 4♣ river completed the board as Barnes hit the exit.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ying Zhu open-shoved under the gun, and she was about to get it through until Joao Simao looked her up from the big blind.

Ying Zhu: 2♥2♦ All in
Joao Simao: 7♣6♦

The board ran out 9♣9♥6♥10♦10♠, leaving Simao with just seven-high, which was still enough to beat Zhu, whose pocket pair was counterfeited and was playing the board.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Julien Sitbon moved all in with his final 16,000 chips from middle position. Ibrahim Senoussi made the call in the cutoff.

Julien Sitbon: A♦9♣ All in
Ibrahim Senoussi: A♣Q♦

The low board runout of 4♦5♠2♥8♥6♥ didn't help Sitbon, who was sent to the rail with ace-high.

Myles Phago

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ryan Buckholtz raised from middle position to 5,000, and action folded to Jason Bral in the cutoff who moved all in for 32,000. Santiago Nadal in the small blind, then also moved all in, and he had both players covered. Buckholtz folded.

Jason Bral: 2♠2♣
Santiago Nadal: J♥J♦

The flop came 9♦K♥J♠ and left Bral needing runner-runner to stay alive. No luck when the 4♦ came on the turn, and he was drawing dead. The irrelevant 9♣ fell on the turn, and Bral was sent packing.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ninos Awraham raised from early position all-in for 22,000. It folded all the way to Jasthi Kumar in the big blind who called to put Awraham at risk.

Ninos Awraham: A♣Q♣ All in
Jasthi Kumar: K♦Q♠

Awraham had Kumar's hand dominated, and the board did not offer up any upsets as it spread out 4♠8♠9♣9♠3♣ to give Awraham the double.

Zhang Flops the Nuts

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tianhang Zhang open-shoved for 18,000 when action folded to him in middle position. Adam Richardson reshoved for 40,500 from the hijack, and everybody else got out of the way.

Tianhang Zhang: A♥10♣ All in
Adam Richardson: 9♣9♦

Richardson had the advantage preflop, but was left looking for a miracle following the J♦K♦Q♠ flop. The 10♥ turn served as nothing but a needle, as the 2♦ river left him with the low end of the straight.

It Never Happens Until it Happens

Jerome Solomon

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Marco Johnson moved all in with 23,000 chips under the gun and Jesse Boettcher called from the cutoff.

Marco Johnson: K♥J♠ All in
Jesse Boettcher: 7♣7♦

The flop of A♣7♠2♥ was so unkind to Johnson that he started packing up and stood to leave. When the Q♥ landed on the turn, giving him a straight draw, Johnson said, "It never happens."

Of course, the 10♦ came on the river, giving him a Broadway straight and the win.

"Well, it never happens, except this time."
