Trevor Graffa
Trevor Graffa

Trevor Graffa raised to 7,000 in early position and picked up two callers, including Steve Nooralian on the button.

The table checked around to Nooralian on the 2♦4♥5♦ flop, and he bet 10,000. Action then folded to Graffa, and he raised to 25,000. Nooralian then reraised to 65,000, and Graffa called.

The turn was the J♣ and Graffa moved all in. Nooralian had around 80,000 behind and tanked for a few minutes before folding.

Raymer Comes From Behind to Double

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

Greg Raymer moved all in for 38,500 under the gun and an opponent in middle position reshoved for 58,500. John Wilson was in the big blind and took a minute, but he eventually gave up his hand.

Greg Raymer: A♠8♣ All in
Opponent: A♦K♦

"I looked at an ace. I don't like my odds," Raymer said after finding out he was dominated. The flop came J♥4♠Q♥, but he caught the 8♦ on the turn to take the lead. The river was the 7♥, and Raymer doubled up.

Wilson, meanwhile, hung his head and admitted he folded two nines and would've won the pot to bust both players.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
John Wilson
John Wilson

Ramsey Poston was forced all in from the big blind while Phong Nguyen raised to 6,500 under the gun. A player in early position then reraised to 20,000, and John Wilson shoved for 61,000 in the hijack. Nguyen reshoved for 120,000, and the early-position player snap-called.

Ramsey Poston: Q♣8♥ All in
John Wilson: Q♦Q♠ All in
Phong Nguyen: 10♦10♣ All in
Early-Position: A♥A♣

The early-position player had picked up two aces to leave all three opponents at risk, but Wilson spiked the last queen in the deck on the 9♠9♥Q♥ flop to make a full house. The rest of the board ran out 7♣5♥ and Wilson tripled up, while the early-position player had to content himself with the side pot to send Nguyen to the rail.

Jennifer Oar
Jennifer Oar

Jennifer Oar's table just broke, and she was moved to a new seat at Robert Rothenberger's table. "You had to bring that crusher over here? Look at those chips," Rothenberger said as Oar stacked up more than 300,000.

Oar then opened to 8,000 from under the gun on her first hand at this table and picked up two callers. She continued for 9,500 on the A♦4♦2♥ flop, and only an opponent in middle position called.

Oar moved all in on the 8♥ turn, and her opponent called for 30,000. He showed A♠10♦ for top pair, while Oar had K♥Q♥ for a flush draw. The 4♥ river gave Oar her flush, and she added to her already-massive stack with a bustout.

At another table, a player in middle position had shoved for 45,000 and Trevor Graffa reraised on the button to chase away the rest of the table.

All-In Player: 9♣9♥ All in
Trevor Graffa: Q♠Q♥

Graffa had his opponent crushed with his queens, and the 8♥2♠7♣5♣4♦ board secured him the pot and the knockout.

McIe moved all in before the dealer turned over the K♣2♠5♠ flop. Cho had around 70,000 behind and tanked for a few minutes before another tablemate called the clock. His countdown had nearly reached zero when he finally stuck in his last chips.

Michael Shumsky: 4♦4♠ All in
Steve Cho: J♠J♦ All in
Anthony McIe: A♣K♦

McIe had flopped top pair to take the lead over both opponents, and he remained ahead on the 6♥ turn and Q♥ river to earn the double knockout.
