After a few double-ups, Ryan Eriquezzo open-jammed for 150,00 from the hijack and Travis Hartshorn came over the top from the small blind getting isolation.

Ryan Eriquezzo: {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Travis Hartshorn: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Hartshorn was ahead and improved to a set on the {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop.

The {7-Spades} turn brought a gutshot for Eriquezzo but the river paired the board with the {7-Hearts} to end Eriquezzo's tournament run.

Eriquezzo Out-Flopped By Gross

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jeffrey Gross open-jammed under the gun for 355,000 and was called by Ryan Eriquezzo from middle position.

Jeffrey Gross: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Ryan Eriquezzo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Eriquezzo had Gross dominated until the {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop dropped putting Gross in a commanding lead.

The {k-Spades} turn changed nothing as Eriquezzo still needed an ace to win the hand and the {3-Clubs} river wasn't it leaving himself with just 10,000.
