Preflop action folded around to Ben Farrell in the small blind and he shoved all in. Joe Kuether made the call from his big blind with a lesser stack.

Ben Farrell: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Joe Kuether: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Spades} and eliminated Kuether in a very respectable fifth place. The four remaining players have agreed to take a look at the numbers.

Michael Dyer raised to 350,000 and Ben Farrell defended his big blind.

On a flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Hearts} Farrell checked over to Dyer who checked behind. After Farrell checked again on the {2-Clubs} turn Dyer bet 300,000 and Farrell made the call.

Farrell checked a third time on the {a-Spades} river, and when Dyer checked behind Farrell sighed and tabled {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for the flopped full house.

Board Runout Rubs Salter in Dyer's Wound

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Dyer raised the button to 350,000 and Louis Salter three-bet all in for 3.325 million from the big blind. Dyer asked for a count and then made the call.

Michael Dyer: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Louis Salter: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop saw Salter get up out of his seat, and even he seemed surprised to sit back down after the {9-Spades} turn and {q-Clubs} river counterfeited Dyer. Both players had two pair queens and nines, but it was Salter's ace kicker that made the difference.

Rocco Gets Value on the River

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 80,000 ante
Michael Rocco
Michael Rocco

Ben Farrell raised from the button and Michael Rocco defended his big blind. Both players then checked through to the river on a board of {4-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and after Rocco checked a third time Farrell put out a small bet of 200,000.

Rocco thought for a moment and then came over the top with a big check-raise to 1,800,000. Farrell made the call and quickly mucked his hand after Rocco tabled {7-Clubs}{5-Spades} for rivered trip fives.

Michael Rocco: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Rocco stayed ahead on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop, but Farrell took over the lead on the {a-Hearts} turn and officially won the race on the {3-Spades} river.
