Wilson Doubles Through Cornell in Exciting Race

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Greg Wilson
Greg Wilson

Chris Cornell opened for 11,000 and then called the shove of 32,000 from Greg Wilson.

Cornell: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Wilson: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Cornell held his slight lead as the flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. The {8-Hearts} turn game him a straight. Wilson needed to make a straight of his own to survive, and he did so as the {k-Spades} gave him Broadway on the river.

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Kou Vang busted just shy of the money.
Kou Vang busted just shy of the money.

"Time to go hit the jackpot," Kou Vang said with a smile on his way out the door.

According to Nicholas Pupillo, the tour pro hit the rail after he got all in with {a-}{k-} against a player holding {a-}{9-}, but Vang's opponent proceeded to flop trip nines.

Turner Doubles Through Utley

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Josh "JT" Turner
Josh "JT" Turner

A player in the cutoff opened to 9,000 and got shoved on by Joshua Turner on the button for 58,000. John Utley made the call from the small blind, and the opener folded.

Utley: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Turner: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop gave Turner the lead with queens, a lead which stood through the {4-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river.

"I wasn't looking for a call," Turner said. "But I didn't hate the cards you turned over, either."

Do Done In

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Tri Do
Tri Do

Tri Do shoved all in from under the gun for his last 54,000 and was called by George Lusby.

Lusby: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Do: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

"One time," Do said.

A {7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} flop only helped in terms of chopping chances though. A {k-Clubs} turn was a blank for Do, as was the {8-Clubs} river.
