Players Remaining: 21 of 174

Wally Maddah

Wally Maddah got all in preflop for 14,000, and both John Travers (cutoff), and the big blind have him covered.

The two live players then checked the flop dealt Jh9d3c. The turn followed with the 6c, the big blind bet 15,000, and Travers called before the river delivered the 3d.

Travers moved all in, and the big blind called all in. Travers showed 8c7h6h6d, and that was enough to top the Ah9c6s2c held by the big blind, and the AsAcQc5c held by Maddah.

Travers took out both opponents with Maddah busting on the money bubble. Travers stacked up 137,000 after collecting the pot.

John Travers – 137,000 (27 bb)

Bruce Malyon

Four players paid the 400 price of admission to see a flop dealt Qs10s4c, and then Marvin “Duckman” Karlins moved all in for 5,500 from the button.

The small blind folded, the big blind called, and  Bruce Malyon called on the hijack as well. The two remaining live players then checked the 7d on the turn, and the 9h on the river.

Karlins showed QhJh, but that was not enough to top the KsJd held by Malyon for a straight. The big blind mucked his cards so Malyon stacked up 39,500 after collecting the pot.

Bruce Malyon – 39,500 (131 bb)
