Staats Hits Another Flush

Chris Staats moved all in preflop for around 1.8 million and action folded to Juan Lopez Jr who took one look at his cards and quickly made the call to put him at risk.

Chris Staats: [Ks10s]

Juan Lopez Jr.: [9s9c]

Lopez Jr. was ahead going in, but Staats was loving the flop of [6d4s5s] as he now had a flush draw along with two overs.

The turn didn't make him sweat for it either as it immediately came the [As] to give him the stone-cold nuts to leave Lopez Jr. drawing dead.

The board completed with the meaningless [8d] and Staats was shipped the pot for a huge double-up.

Break Time

The 6 finalists are now on a quick 10-minute break and will return to battle shortly.

Neilsen (8th-$11,300) & Nelson (7th- $13,660) Fall to Lopez Jr. in Double Knockout

On a three-way flop of [7hJdKd], Clinton Nelson led out for 575,000 and then Juan Lopez Jr. moved all in for around 4 million. The action was then on Lance Nielsen who thought about it for a while and then announced he was all in for less and Nelson quickly made the call behind to put himself at risk as well.

Lopez then confidently flipped over [JcJh] for middle set and Nielsen tabled [5d7d] for a pair and a flush draw.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be that strong, at least I hope my diamonds are good,"

"They are not," Nelson confirmed as he flipped over [Ad8d] for the nut flush draw, which left Nielsen drawing stone dead.

"Come on, hold baby!" Lopez Jr. shouted as the turn was the [Ac] to give Nelson a meaningless pair of aces.

The river then came the brickies brick in the deck, the [2s], and a loud "SHIPP ITT" could be heard throughout the room as Lopez Jr. scooped the massive pot and busted both players in the process.

Juan Lopez Jr.: 9,600,000

Lance Nielsen: 0

Clinton Nelson: 0
