Namhyung Kim: {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Action folded around to Gaelle Baumann who opened the cutoff to 8,000, Daniel Menger folded the button and Juan Pardo three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind. After the big blind has folded Baumann called and the players went to the streets.

Crazy Eights as Grieco Coolers Cowen

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Nicola Grieco
Nicola Grieco

Action arrived on the turn with two players having just got all the chips in the middle. The board showed {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Robert Cowen in the big blind and Nicola Grieco in the cutoff were the players with their chips in the pot and Cowen was at risk with a slightly smaller stack. The pot held over 600,000 up for grabs.

Robert Cowen: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Nicola Grieco: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Grieco had Cowen dominated with better trips, but needed a clean river to finish the job. The {q-Spades} hit the river, both players ended up with trips, but Grieco's kicker played, so Cowen was headed out the door.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
