Grimes Knocks Out Pupillo

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
James Grimes
James Grimes

James Grimes opened to 7,000 from early position and action folded around to James Pupillo who shoved all in for 49,600 from the big blind. Grimes thought for a few seconds before calling.

James Pupillo: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
James Grimes: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Pupillo's coin-flip odds were decreased to needing backdoor straight cards after a seven came in the window on a flop of {7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. The turn {10-Clubs} left Pupillo drawing dead while the dealer put out the river {6-Spades} and shipped the pot Grimes' way.

Sheaves Eliminates Mader

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

All 10 players at the table were standing up to sweat the all-in preflop scenario between Phil Mader and Warren Sheaves. Each player had approximately the same stack and cards were tabled in front of each player.

Phil Mader: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Warren Sheaves: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Mader was at risk for his tournament life and in a dominated position. The board ran out {4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and he was eliminated from the tournament with just over one hour left of play after spending most of the day grinding a stack that was shorter than most of the field.

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Chris Moon
Chris Moon

Chris Moon opened from early position to 5,300 and the player on the button shoved all in for about 35,000. Moon quickly called.

Chris Moon: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The all-in player stated that he was crushed upon seeing Moon's hand and the {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs} runout did not finish in his favor as he was eliminated from the tournament.

Dubberstein Boats Up Versus Flush

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

With at least 65,000 in the pot from preflop action, a player in the big blind had gone all in for 74,900 on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Action was on Craig Dubberstein, who was in middle position and deep in the tank. After some time, he decided to make the call.

Craig Dubberstein: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Dubberstein found his set up against a flopped flush and was in need of the board pairing to improve. The dealer brought the turn {4-Spades} to do just that and leave his opponent drawing dead and headed for the showers as the river {10-Clubs} fell and Dubberstein collected the pot and the elimination.

Menapace Holds To Double

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

John Menapace shoved all in from the hijack for 9,400 and Phil Mader called from the button. The blinds folded and the two turned up their cards.

John Menapace: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Phil Mader: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {2-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Menapace was able to fade a ten as well as board-pairing chop outs on the river to double up and find himself with a ten big-blind stack.
