Temper Flushes Cannon for KO

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Casey Temper
Casey Temper

Casey Temper open-jammed for 78,000 from early position and action folded to Wesley Cannon who called off his 70,000 stack from the big blind.

Wesley Cannon: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Casey Temper: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Temper had Cannon dominated until the {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop paired Cannon's six.

Cannon didn't like the {9-Hearts} that fell on the turn as it gave Temper more outs as any eight, seven, four or diamond would secure him the pot.

Unfortunately for Cannon, the river was the {4-Diamonds}, giving Temper the nuts and ending Cannon's Main Event in 55th place for $2,584.

Steve Houle

A series of preflop raises saw Steve Houle get his 341,000 stack in the middle from the small blind and Casey Temper called from the button.

Steve Houle: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Casey Temper: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Temper didn't like what he saw after the cards were tabled and things got worse after the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop gave Houle the nuts.

The board completed with the {j-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river securing his double-up.
