Then There Were 18

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Gray opened with a raise to 23,000 from early position before Michael Fadersen three-bet to 50,000. Action folded back to Gray who quickly called to take a flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

Gray was first to act and he decided to lead with a healthy bet of 80,000. Fadersen thought for a few moments before declaring himself all in for around 280,000. We didn't have to wait for a count though as Gray insta-called with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for top set! Even more surprising was the Fadersen opened {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for two pair in a rather brutal flop.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and river the {2-Clubs} to see Fadersen bundled to the rail as Gray climbs to 1.1 million to be with the chip leaders at 18 players remain.
