Jason Gray Eliminated in 2nd Place (AU$476,000); Martin Rowe Wins APPT Grand Final

With the blinds having gone up to 50,000 and 100,000, Jason Gray may have decided he needed to take a few more risks. He limped into the pot from the small blind, then jammed all in for roughly 2 million after Martin Rowe raised to 250,000. Rowe snap-called, and we had our first all in since Gray doubled up two and a half hours ago.

Gray: {9-Hearts}

Rowe:

Rowe caught Gray making a move, but the outcome was far from certain. Gray had two very live cards against Rowe. Rowe's supporters let out a roar on a flop of {A-Spades}

. Rowe made top two pair against Gray's bottom pair. Gray picked up a few outs with the {9-Spades}

turn; he needed a nine or a five on the river to stay alive. That didn't happen; with everyone on their feet and holding their breath, the dealer peeled off the {3-Spades}

. Rowe raised his arms over his head and cried out in triumph.

Gray's consolation prize was for second place was AU$476,000.
