Dawson Doubles Through Utley

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Charlie Dawson got his last 9,425 in against John Utley preflop.

Utley: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Dawson: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

"King-queen never loses," Dawson said.

He was wrong this time, as the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades} board favored him.

Perfect River for Phillips

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Lisa Phillips
Lisa Phillips

Lisa Phillips was out of position in a battle of the blinds, and she bet 5,000 on a board of {4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Her opponent made the call, and the {a-Hearts} river paired the board. Phillips flicked out 10,000, and her opponent quickly called. She rolled over {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for fours full, and her opponent showed {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for trips.

"Last card kept me in there," the big blind said. "Nice hand."

Dawson Calls His Queen

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Charlie Dawson seemed to be halfway out the door for good, as he recently sat down for a second bullet today but was all in for his last 6,000 or so preflop.

Dawson: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

"I'm due a queen," Dawson said with confidence. "I've been running so bad."

His guess looked overly optimistic as the first four cards came {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, but a {q-Clubs} river gave him the set he needed to survive.

Cornell Punts Chambers

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Dan Chambers couldn't hit the river.
Dan Chambers couldn't hit the river.

On a board of {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Chris Cornell bet 8,000. Dan Chambers made it 20,200 to go, and Cornell quickly came back with 43,000. Chambers jammed for what looked like about 50,000 total, and Cornell called.

Cornell: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Chambers: {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Cornell was ahead with the overpair, but Chambers had outs with an open-ended straight draw and a pair. It was a {2-Spades} landing on fifth street, no help to Chambers, and he silently pushed his stack in.
