Gravlien Gets Rid of Vicas

Level 8 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Bjorn Gravlien
Bjorn Gravlien

The board was already completed when the action was caught, with around 15,000 chips in the middle. On {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} cutoff Bjorn Gravlien bet enough to put button Marijus Vicas' 12,500 remaining chips at risk.

After some minutes in the tank, Vicas came up with a call and saw the bad news.

Marijus Vicas: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Bjorn Gravlien: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

A full house for Gravlien to beat Vicas' two pair. Vicas exited the tournament with commiserations from table mate Andy Black, while Gravlien added to his already impressive stack.
