Grummitt Survives, Esau Takes the Side Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Paul Grummitt had his chips in the middle and was contesting for the main pot of over 300,000 from the small blind.
The board read 7♥8♣10♣ and early position had check-called a bet from Esau, who threw out 65,000 from the button. On the J♥ turn, it checked to Esau again and he took it down after his 160,000-chip bet made his opponent fold.
Paul Grummitt: Q♦Q♣ 
Paul Esau: A♥K♦
Grummitt was one card away from getting back into contention, and managed to do so when the 6♣ rolled off on the river, earning him the main pot. The side pot went Esau's way, which left his stack at around 1,600,000.
