Hands #6-9: Emory Wins a Big One

Hand #7: Govert Metaal raised to 105,000 and claimed the blinds and antes.
Hand #8: Metaal made it 105,000 to go, and Bolek three-bet to 240,000 on the button. Metaal moved all in, and that forced a quick fold from Bolek.
Hand #9: Bryan Emory raised to 100,000, and Thomas Lutz defended his big blind. The flop came 
, and both players checked. After the 
turn, Lutz bet 95,000, then called a raise to 225,000 by Emory. The 
river completed the board, and Lutz checked. Emory made it 325,000 to go, and Lutz reluctantly called.
Emory turned over 
for the nut flush and claimed a big pot to further cement his lead.
