Hand #28 -

John Conkright has the button in Seat 2. Rep Porter open-raises for 38,000 from the small blind. Michiel Brummelhuis immediately moves all in for 188,000 with {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, and Porter calls just as quickly with {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}.

The flop comes {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} and just like that, Brummelhuis goes from dominated to dominating. The turn {2-Hearts} is no help for Porter, but he spikes the {J-Spades} on the river to knock out Brummelhuis. Brummelhuis may be leaving the Milwaukee's Best Light No-Limit Lounge, but he is now $53,313 richer.

Hand #23 - Rep Porter

Rep Porter has the button in seat 3 and he raises to 34,000. Michiel Brummelhuis, the small blind, announces a raise. He makes it 104,000 to see a flop. Shilyuk folds his big blind and the action is back to Rep Porter. Never hasty with a decision, Porter takes his time yet again. He finally reraises to 354,000 and Brummelhuis moves all in. Porter quickly calls and the players show:

Brummelhuis: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Porter: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}

The previously bored gallery is on it's feet. It's Porter's tournament life on the line. After the pot is made right, the dealer makes with the flop...

{8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}

Porter still leads and Brummelhuis needs an ace or running straight cards. The turn brings the {3-Clubs}. With little delay the {10-Clubs} hits the river. Porter's kings are best and he doubles up.

Hand #21 - Rep Porter/Anatoly Shilyuk

Devin Porter has the button in seat 1. Anatoly Shilyuk raises to 35,000 and Rep Porter calls from the big blind. Shilyuk and Porter see a {K-Hearts} {7-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop heads up. Porter quickly checks and Shilyuk takes his time before finally putting out a bet of 55,000. Porter nervously surveys the situation with a look of genuine concern. After about one minute, he raises to 150,000. Shilyuk quickly moves all in. The tournament director assists with an accurate count. The bet is a total of 379,000. Porter goes into the tank but eventually makes the call. The players show:

Porter: {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Shilyuk: {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

With neither player having a flush draw, it is a split pot. The turn and river come the {10-Hearts} and {A-Hearts} respectively. Rep Porter and Anatoly Shilyuk split the pot.
