Chip leader in 2007 WSOP Dag Martin Mikkelsen gets Royal Flush

After Mikkelsen raised in middle position Lovelace came over the top for the last of his 389,000. Mikkelsen called with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and was in a race against Lovelace's pocket Eights.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, giving Mikkelsen a flush and gutshot draw, and on the turn Dag hit the {6-Diamonds} to make his flush. Lovelace still had outs, he could win with a Jack or Eight, but the river brought the {Q-Diamonds}, giving Mikkelsen a Royal Flush and knocking Lovelace out.

Freddy Deeb wins the 2007 50k H.O.R.S.E. Event!

Freddy Deeb battled all night and won the prestigious 2007 50K H.O.R.S.E. event. Bruno Fitoussi had an 8 million chip lead but bled his chips off. John Hanson finished in third place. All three were exchanging the chip lead throughout the final table. I stayed up until 5 am and just couldn't do it any longer. Freddy Deeb once again proves he is one of the greatest players in the world.
