Ashton Griffin Eliminated in 5th Place ($55,482)

[user101598]

Ashton Griffin open-shoved from under the gun, and Mike Wattel tanked for over a minute, then called on his direct left. The action folded behind, and Griffin drew one. Wattel stood pat with {9-} {7-} {6-} {4-} {3-} .

Griffin was drawing thin with {9-} {7-} {5-} {4-} , and grabbed his backpack before the dealer dealt him his downcard. He quickly turned over a queen, then exited the Pavillion stage.

A Tense Moment

Josh_Cahlik

George Danzer opened with a raise only to have Mike Watell come over the top for 125,000 total. Danzer replied by four-betting his entire stack for 473,000 total and Wattel was clearly distraught.

"What? No glasses?", Wattel asked Danzer noticing that the sunglasses Danzer usually wore during hands were absent.

Eventually Wattel made what seemed to be a painful fold and the pot was shipped the way of Danzer.

[user101598]

Benjamin Parker opened to 50,000 from under the gun, and George Danzer called on the button. Both players drew one.

Parker checked, and Danzer announced, "Eighty-five thousand."

Parker tanked for the better part of two minutes, then called. Danzer fanned {9-} {7-} {5-} {4-} {3-} , and Parker unhappily mucked.

Danzer Moves In

Josh_Cahlik

Mike Wattel raised out of the small blind and was called by George Danzer in the big blind. Wattel stood pat and Danzer drew one.

Wattel checked to Danzer after the draw and Danzer announced that he was all in, making Wattel ponder calling for his tournament life.

Wattel was visibly upset at the size of the bet and eventually flung his cards into the muck.

[user101598]

Nick Schulman opened to 55,000 from under the gun, Benjamin Parker called all in for just 50,000 from the small blind, and George Danzer called the full raise from the big.

Parker stood pat, Danzer drew one, and Schulman stood pat. Both Danzer and Schulman checked. Schulman tabled {9-} {8-} {5-} {4-} {2-} for a ninety-eight, and Parker shook his head before tabling a queen-ten. Danzer mucked, and Parker was eliminated from the tournament.

Ten-Seven For Schulman

Josh_Cahlik

Action folded to George Danzer's small blind and he raised to 48,000. Nick Schulman called from the big blind and both players took one new card.

Danzer fired out 66,000 and Schulman called rather quickly.

"Eights," said Danzer, announcing that he paired his eight.

Schulman fanned a {10-} {7-} {6-} {4-} {2-} and was able to drag in this pot, extending his chip lead a little bit more.
