Grafton Doubles Again

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

On the side feature table, Sam Grafton and Blaz Zerjav got all the chips in the middle before the flop, with Grafton at risk.

Sam Grafton: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Blaz Zerjav: {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to give Grafton the win with his two-pair, jacks and eights. With this latest double, his stack has now grown to 130,000 and he is no longer in the "danger zone".

Spitale Upsets De La Rosa

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Franco Spitale
Franco Spitale

A larger pot was brewing over on table seven as the bigger stacks Ricardo De La Rosa and Franco Spitale headed to the {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} turn. De La Rosa check-called a bet of 54,000 and checked again the {3-Diamonds} on the river.

Spitale now bet another 100,000 and De La Rosa pondered about his next move for a short while, then tossed in a single chip for the call. The {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for top set were exposed by Spitale and De La Rosa mucked the {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for an inferior set, then bumped fists with his table neighbor as they briefly talked in Spanish.

Zamani Eradicates "Fossilman"

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champ Greg Raymer was all in and at risk from the button against Martin Zamani in the cutoff.

Greg Raymer: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Martin Zamani: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Raymer was dominated and got no help from the runout of {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts} to mark the Main Event champ's elimination. Before he left, "Fossilman" wrote a personalized message on his signature fossil card protector and gifted it to Zamani.

"It's fragile, be careful," Raymer said as he was met with a fist-bump from Zamani.

Rosen Sets Up a Double

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Platinum Pass winner Mats Rosen was all-in and Kenny Hallaert called from the cutoff when the hands were turned up.

Mats Rosen: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Kenny Hallaert: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Hallaert caught a piece of the {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop but Rosen hit a set of sixes. Rosen then improved to a full house on the {a-Diamonds} turn and avoided Hallaert's outs on the {5-Hearts} river to score the double.

Orlowski Doubles Through Beresford

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Platinum Pass winner John Orlowski raised from early position to 11,000 and was met with a three-bet from Conor Beresford to 26,000 in the cutoff.

The rest of the table folded before Orlowski slid out a four-bet to 86,000. Beresford took some time before five-betting enough to put Orlowski at risk. The call was made and both hands were revealed.

John Orlowski: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Conor Beresford: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Beresford was behind but picked up additional outs on the {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. The {5-Hearts} turn and {3-Clubs} river left Orlowski in front to stay alive and double his stack.

Gumz Gets Paid With Tens Full

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Fabian Gumz was out of position in a heads-up pot against Alberto Meran in the hijack on a board of {10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} with around 85,000 already in the middle.

Gumz bet 66,000 to leave himself just two chips behind and Meran went deep into the tank as he contemplated a call. Someone called the clock after four minutes or so and Meran called.

Gumz tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for tens full of deuces and Meran mucked in defeat.
