Griffin Gets a Squeeze Through

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 4,000 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Jerry Wong opened with a raise to 30,000 from the cutoff. Jens Lakemeier called from the button. Andrew Kelsall thought for a moment, then followed along with a call from the small blind. Ashton Griffin then thought for a moment and announced a pot, making it 150,000 to play.

Wong let his hand go. Lakemeier thought for about a minute then folded as well. Kelsall followed suit and folded as well, and that allowed Griffin to take in the big pot.

"I was thinking about doing that," Kelsall said after the hand. "Good thing I didn't."

No-Limit Hold'em

Ashton Griffin, from the cutoff, raised to 23,000. Action folded around to Kenneth Fitzgerald in the big and he moved all in for roughly 75,000. Griffin instantly called.

Fitzgerald: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Griffin: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} which gave Fitzgerald some extra outs on the flop, but never materialized. Fitzgerald will take home $16,793 for his sixth-place finish which is his biggest World Series of Poker cash so far.

"You Can Never Be Too Careful"

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 3,000 ante

Big O

Jens Lakemeier limped from the small blind and Andrew Kelsall checked his option from the big blind.

Lakemeier led with a bet of 10,000 on the flop of {2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} which Kelsall called.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and both players checked. On the {A-Diamonds} river, Lakemeier bet again, this time for 15,000. Kelsall made a face, then called. Lakemeier showed {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} as his best hand, but Kelsall flipped up {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the best full house, and it was good to take down the pot.

"You can never be too careful," Jerry Wong said after the hand.

"What do you want me to do?" Kelsall responded. "Raise?"

Wong smiled and shook his head.
