Napierala Busts to Brad G

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

All the chips went in on the flop of a {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs} board between Blake Napierala, Brad G, and a short-stacked player.

Blake Napierala: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Brad G: {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Short Stack: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Napierala was ahead on the flop but the {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave Brad G two pair. The {q-Clubs} completed the board and completed straight draws for both the short-stacked player who tripled up and Brad G, who scooped a massive side pot to bust Napierala.

Beshay Scoops Large Pot

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

With Mike Rellinger all in preflop, a three-way pot of about 35,000 was piled up in the middle. The board read {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Peter Beshay moved all in for 33,500. The player in late position had the action on him and was in the tank. The clock was eventually called and he would make the call before the time ran out, putting Beshay at risk as well.

Mike Rellinger: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Peter Beshay: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Late position: {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Beshay scooped the whole pot.
