Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action escalated quickly on a flop of 4♣J♦2♦, with two players getting their chips in the middle.

Travis Hartshorn, in the cutoff, held 6♦5♦ for both a straight and flush draw, while Gregory Brown had K♦J♥ in the big blind for top pair.

The turn brought the 3♠, completing Hartshorn’s straight and leaving Brown drawing dead. The 9♣ river was just a formality as Brown hit the rail and Hartshorn secured himself a spot at the top of chip counts.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Scarborough: K♣Q♣ All in
Jamey McKay: A♠10♠

Scarborough was ahead having paired his king but McKay had a nut flush draw. The turn Q♥ fell on the turn changing nothing.

But when the river 6♠ was dealt, a cheer came out of McKay as his flush completed. After a proper count of the chips, Scarborough was covered and got eliminated from the tournament.
