Event #62: The Little One for One Drop - $1,111 No-Limit Hold'em

Hand #95: Shai Zurr moved all in for 1.75 million from the cutoff and Brandon Eisen thought long and hard before calling from the big blind.

Zurr:   
Eisen:   

It was a bad spot for Zurr, but he got lucky after the     flop delivered him the lead with a pair of kings. Neither the   turn nor   river helped Eisen, and Zurr doubled through.

Hand #96: Eric Baldwin raised to 240,000 from the button and Theodore Driscoll defended from the big blind to see a flop of    . Driscoll checked, Baldwin continued for 210,000, and Driscoll check-raised all in. Baldwin quickly called off and the cards were turned up.

Baldwin:   
Driscoll:   

Driscoll had flopped a pair, but it was way behind the pocket cowboys of Baldwin. The   turn changed nothing, and neither did the   river. With that, Baldwin was shipped a much-needed double.

Brandon Eisen	3,850,000	-2,150,000
Shai Zurr	3,500,000	1,465,000
Eric Baldwin	2,700,000	1,250,000

Hand #71: Matthew Lapossie opened for 200,000 and received a call from Brandon Eisen in the cutoff. Vimy Ha then flatted from the button, both blinds folded, and the flop came down    . Lapossie was first to act and bet 250,000, which inspired Eisen to call. Ha then moved all in for 680,000 total, and both Lapossie and Eisen called.

Both active players checked the   turn and then did the same on the   river.

Lapossie:   
Eisen:   
Ha:   

Ha had gotten it in good with a pair of nines while Eisen had flopped the nut flush and Lapossie an inferior flush with an open-ended straight draw. The turn had no consequence on the hand, but the river did as it gave Eisen a winning pair of jacks.

"I guess we could have gotten it in on the flop," Eisen told Lapossie as Ha silently exited in eighth place for $68,019.

Hand #62: Igor Dubinskyy raised to 225,000 from the under-the-gun position only to have Matthew Lapossie three-bet to 510,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Dubinskyy and he announced that he was all in for roughly 1.7 million. Lapossie quickly called.

Lapossie:   
Dubinskyy:   

Both players held the same hand, meaning it would be a split pot unless the board four-flushed. The     flop made that possible for Lapossie as he was freerolling to running hearts.

"Listen to your heart," someone in the crowd sang from the 1988 Roxette song by the same name. Right on cue the dealer delivered the  . The railbirds let out a collective gasp, and the energy in the room picked up a few beats. Unfortunately for those looking to witness a bad beat, it was not meant to be as the   blanked on the river.

The turn was the   and Duong led out for 300,000 and was called by Eisen. Both players would check the   turn and Eisen's    would take the pot off of Duong who held   .

Brandon Eisen	3,800,000	475,000

Hand #38: Shai Zurr opened the action with a raise to 165,000 and Bao Nguyen moved all in for 495,000. It was folded back to Zurr who made the call. The hands were revealed and Nguyen was in the lead:

Nguyen:   
Zurr:   

That lead would be short-lived as the flop came     to give Zurr a pair of kings. Nguyen didn't look at the board, he chose instead to watch the action on the overhead monitor. He wouldn't like what he saw, as the turn was the   and the river was the   and he would be eliminated in ninth place, collecting $52,400 for his four days of play.

Shai Zurr	3,200,000	655,000
Bao Nguyen	0	-505,000
