Level 30 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Shawn Buchanan opened the button and Vuong Do shoved the big blind for around 1,400,000. Buchanan called.

Vuong Do: K♦10♣ All in
Shawn Buchanan: A♣Q♦

Do needed to play catch up, but it seemed a longshot after the 9♥Q♣A♥ flop gave Buchanan two pair. A jack is what Do needed, but the 2♦8♣ runout was of no help, and he was eliminated.

River Boat Pays Off

Jerome Solomon

Level 30 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

We pick up the action with Geoffrey Coatar making a call on the turn with a request of the dealer.

"Don't do me dirty," he said.

With a board reading: Q♠Q♦A♥ the 10♣ landed on the river. Derek Gregory, playing from the small blind, bet 950,000. Coatar didn't hesitate to go all in.

Gregory sat for nearly five minutes trying to decide what to do. Were he to fold, he would have some 1,700,000 chips. If he called and lost, his tournament run would be over.

Finally, an opponent called for the clock. With about 15 seconds left for his hand to be declared dead, Gregory made the call.

Coatar showed Q♣10♦ for the full house and massive takedown that put him atop the leaderboard.

Gregory turned over Q♥3♣ showing why the decision was such a difficult one to make.
