David Clark opened the pot to 36,000 in early position, and he found calls from both Ron Segni (cutoff) and Casey McCarrel (big blind).
Three-handed, they went off to the flop, and Clark continued out with another 46,000. Segni quickly raised to 110,000 total, but the action wasn't done yet. Check-raising all in, Casey McCarrel committed his last 372,000 chips to the pot. That folded Clark quickly, but Segni asked for the count and made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Showdown
McCarrel:
Segni:
It was a good call by Segni, but McCarrel had plenty of outs to catch up. The on fourth street wasn't one of them, but it did open up another set of outs as turned the open-ended straight draw. He needed to catch any trey, eight, king, or spade to stay alive.
Segni was the one standing up, and he nervously pleaded with the dealer. "Deuce of clubs!" he wished.
River:
Ask and ye shall receive, and Segni has just received the rest of his opponent's chips.
It's the end of the line for McCarrel, running out of chips in ninth place. That's good for a consolation prize of more than $10,000, the first five-figure payday of this event.
Segni is now comfortably in the chip lead with close to 1.6 million.

"All right, which one of you was it?"
That's how Daniel Lowery greeted his table this afternoon, and he continued his inquiry. "Which one of you looked up my room and had your buddies crank call me all night?" It was in good spirits, and the table all shared a chuckle as they asked for details.
It seems that Lowery had some trouble sleeping last night thanks to a string of misdirected phone calls to his hotel room. It ended up that he had to take his phone off the hook in order to get any sleep. He's chuckling about it now, and he doesn't look much worse for the wear, but we'll have to wait and see how his stamina holds up as the day drags on.
