Vukovic tabled {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for two pair, and took down the pot, after Stang mucked his hand showing the {a-Hearts} in the process.

Otto vs. Mooney, Hahn vs. Suchanek

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ryan Otto
Ryan Otto

David Hanlon tried to get something going with an under-the-gun open to 2,200 but was shut down by Michael Hahn, who made it 8,200 from two seats over to take it down.

Hanlon and George Mitri tangled in the hand afterwards, with Mitri limping the button and Hanlin checking his option in the big blind, folding to Mitri's flop bet on a board of {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

The next hand had a little more action, with Ryan Otto making it 2,400 to go from the button and Geoff Mooney defending from the big blind. The flop of {8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs} saw a check from Mooney and a bet of 1,800 from Otto, which was called to bring the pair to the {3-Clubs} turn.

The action went check, check and the river came down the {3-Hearts}. This saw Mooney check fold to Otto's 5,000 river bet.

The hand afterwards saw Michael Hahn limp from under-the-gun and Jan Suchanek make it 2,500 from one seat over. Hahn checked the {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop over to Suchanek, who bet out 3,000 and got a call.

The {9-Spades} turn saw Hahn check call Suchanek's bet of 8,000 to bring the two to the {2-Clubs} river, where the action went check, check and Hahn scopped the pot with {q-Spades}{7-Spades}.

The board showed {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Vincent Huang bet 7,300 from middle position. Jason Pritchard called from the hijack.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board and Huang fired out 17,400. Pritchard looked over at Huang's remaining stack before announcing all in which had him covered.

"So sick," said Huang with a sigh, before committing his remaining 18,000.
