Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
John McGriff
John McGriff

Corey Zedo moved all in for 65,000 from early position and Preston Dean called in the small blind.

Corey Zedo: 88 All in
Preston Dean: QQ

Dean had Zedo crushed with his queens, and the 1092KJ board improved him to a straight to earn him the knockout.

At the same time on another table, John McGriff was all in for 110,000 from the small blind and up against Jim Weaver on the button.

John McGriff: 1010 All in
Jim Weaver: AK

Weaver hit top pair on the KJ5 flop to take the lead, while the turn was the 9. The river, though, brought the Q and McGriff spiked a straight to win the pot and double up.
