Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Jonathan Haidsiak - Seventh Place
Jonathan Haidsiak - Seventh Place

Jonathan Haidsiak open-shoved from the cutoff for 230,000, and Dan Colpoys called on the button.

Colpoys: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Haidsiak: {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

All looked lost for Haidsiak when the dealer revealed a {j-Spades} as the door card, but the last two cards were quite helpful: {2-Spades}{3-Spades}.

"I'll take a chop," Haidsiak said when the {7-Spades} hit the turn.

The board paired with the {7-Clubs} though, and his short-stacked run was finally over.

Wagner Runs Down Colpoys

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Dan Colpoys opened for 50,000 in middle position, and Kris Wagner (button) and Danny Ray Gonzales (big blind) called. Colpoys bet 102,000 on the {9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop after Gonzales checked. Wagner was the only taker. A {6-Hearts} fell on the turn, and Colpoys check-called 173,000. When a {7-Hearts} completed the community, Colpoys checked once more before immediately calling a bet of 221,000 from Wagner.

"I got lucky on the river," Wagner said, tabling {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a top pair that had turned into a backdoor flush. Colpoys mucked {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} face up.

In a min-raised pot, Jonathan McCray check-called 48,000 from Brad Zotti on a {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop.

McCray announced all in, and Zotti called immediately.

Zotti: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
McCray: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

McCray had flopped quads, and his slow-play had paid off when Zotti runnered a flush.
