Showdown
Jorgensen:
Grieco:
The experience of the Dane shining through and he moved up to 70,000. Grieco now has 40,000.
So why was Jorgensen so cool with the call? It's One Direction of course.

Davide Suriano has eliminated Sam Holden in a flip.
Holden lost the majority of his stack in a hand you can read about here, but his final chunk of change went into the middle with ace-queen versus the pocket sevens of Suriano. The sevens held up and Holden was out.
And loose a 2nd flip in a row (wtf!?!??) to bust as the the mighty ace-queen succumbs to pocket sevensMarch 10 2013Follow
