Grimes Out

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Al Grimes - out
Al Grimes - out

Action folded to Ken Lawson in the cutoff seat and he raised to 250. Joe Cada reraised to 800 from the button and then Al Grimes flat-called from the small blind. Lawson also made the call.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Grimes led out with a bet of 1,500. Lawson raised to 4,000 and Cada ducked out of the way. Grimes then made it 12,000 and Lawson moved all in. Grimes called and tabled top set with {10-}{10-}. Lawson held the {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a big combo draw.

The turn bricked, but a heart fell on the river and it wasn't one that paired the board. That meant Grimes' hand was second best and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Cada told us afterwards that he had aces and let them go on the flop. Good fold, Joe.

Lawson is up to about 60,000 now.
