Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bin Weng opened to 12,000 from early position. It folded to Nicholas Scholz, who had 6,000 behind. After some time in the tank, he called off his stack from the cutoff. Kevin Grabel called on the button before the blinds got out of the way.
Weng check-folded his 5♥3♥ to a bet of 15,000 on the 10♦9♣5♦ flop for the cards to go on their backs.
Nicholas Scholz: A♠J♠
Kevin Grabel: A♥9♦
Grabel was miles ahead, and to make matters worse for Scholz, two of his jack outs were dead.
The board completed with the 8♣6♣ and Scholz departed before the money.
