Grayson Ramage Eliminated in 11th Place ($112,400)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Grayson Ramage - 11th Place
Grayson Ramage - 11th Place

Max Silver raised to 60,000 in the cutoff, Pascal Lefrancois three-bet to 190,000 out of the small blind, and Grayson Ramage moved all in for 462,000 from the big blind. Silver got out of the way, Lefrancois, who was priced in, made the call, and the cards went on their backs.

Lefrancois: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Ramage: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Ramage held a commanding lead, but was nearly drawing dead when the flop fell {5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, giving Lefrancois a flush. It was all over when the {7-Hearts} turned, and a meaningless {5-Spades} completed the board.

Ramage exited in 11th place, earning $112,400, and Lefrancois is up over five million chips.

McDonald Flops Ace-High Flush

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Mike McDonald completed from the small blind only to be raised by Shyam Srinivasan from the big blind. McDonald called and the flop came down {2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. McDonald check-called a continuation bet of 160,000 from Srinivasan and the two saw the {9-Hearts} hit the turn.

McDonald checked once more and Srinivasan moved forward 315,000. McDonald called and the {9-Spades} paired the board on the river. McDonald checked a third time and Srinivasan checked it right back.

"I got counterfeited, I flopped top two," said Srinivasan.

McDonald tabled {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a flopped ace-high flush and was able to drag in the pot.

"Wow, you could have won a big pot," Srinivasan continued.

Regardless of the size of the pot, McDonald has extended his chip lead and now has about 5.7 million.
