Phago Destroys Gallardo's Ladies

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Myles Phago
Myles Phago

With Myles Phago forced all-in from the big blind, Adrian Gallardo shoved from the hijack. Everyone else folded, and the cards were flipped over.

Myles Phago: 102 All in
Adrian Gallardo: QQ

Gallardo was far ahead with pocket queens, and Phago was looking for a miracle runout to keep his bracelet dreams alive.

The flop came 9109 to give Phago some hope with a pair of tens. The dealer burned a card and then put out the 10 on the turn, propelling Phago into the lead with a full house (tens full of nines). The river was the 2, and the pot was sent over to Phago.

Colquhuon Flops Two Pair, Eliminates Hodge

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Play was underway with three players, Shaun Colquhuon in early position, Pedro Green in middle, and Stephen Hodge in late, in the hand on a flop of 7105 with 55,000 chips in the middle.

Colquhuon fired an almost pot-sized bet of 50,000, sending Green to the tank. After a few seconds of consideration, he threw his hand to the muck. Hodge, who was covered by Colquhuon's bet, was forced all in.

Stephen Hodge: KQ All in
Shaun Colquhuon: A10

Upon seeing the hands tabled, Hodge stood up, ready to leave, holding only king-high against Colquhuon's flopped top pair. The dealer completed the board with the runout of 2A improving Colquhuon's hand to two pair and sending Hodge to the rail.
