$400 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Prize Pool:  $207,240  |  Structure  |  Payouts
Level 26:  25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 ante
Players Remaining:  7 of 628

Howard Mash raised to 500,000 (leaving about 120,000 behind) from under the gun and Maurice Hawkins called in the cutoff and showed AsAd for a set of aces, mistakenly thinking Mash was all in.

The flop was AcQcJc, Mash checked, Hawkins went all in with his set of aces, and Mash thought for a bit before he called with AhTh for a pair of aces with a straight draw.

The Ts turn and Qd river completed the board, no help to Mash, ending his tournament in eighth place.

Maurice Hawkins  –  2,800,000  (56 bb)
Howard Mash  –  Eliminated in 8th Place  ($4,500)

With seven players remaining from the field of 628 entries, the average stack is about 1,795,000  (36 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed $5,800.

Lucky Hearts Poker Open Champlinion Martins Adeniya
Lucky Hearts Poker Open Champion Martins Adeniya

Martins Adeniya limped from the button for 400,000, Spencer Champlin raised from the big blind to 1,400,000, and Adeniya called.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Qs10h6sJh, Champlin bet 2,800,000, and Adeniya called.

The river card was the 4h, and Champlin moved all in for 19,000,000. Adeniya rechecked his cards before he called with 8h3h for a flush. Champlin turned over Kc2c for a king-high bluff, and Adeniya won the pot — and $512,600 — with an eight-high heart flush.
