Liptak Doubles, Grabel Makes a Reluctant Fold
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Melanie Hennigan limped in from middle position before Neal Liptak moved all in for 220,000 in the hijack. Matthew Zambanini then reshoved on the button.
Kevin Grabel was in the small blind and ripped off his sunglasses as he went deep into the tank. He took several minutes before folding, while Hennigan also got out of the way.
Neal Liptak: 10♠10♣
Matthew Zambanini: A♦Q♣
Liptak was racing for his tournament life, and he stayed in the lead on the 9♥8♥8♦4♣9♦ board to earn yet another double up. Grabel then admitted he folded ace-king.
