Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Remo Lupo had just moved tables when he and Andres Gallego went to a flop of 7♥9♦5♥. Lupo then moved all in for 67,000 from the big blind. "If you got me, you got me. What am I going to do?" Lupo said as Gallego quickly called in early position.
Remo Lupo: K♦9♣ 
Andres Gallego: A♥9♥
Lupo had flopped top pair, but he was far behind Gallego's ace-kicker and nut flush draw. The 10♥ turn gave Gallego his flush, and Lupo was drawing dead going to the 8♠ river.
"I was there all day. I get moved and right away I get f**ked," Lupo lamented on his way to the rail.

Charles Newman limped in from under the gun and the small blind also came along before Kevin Grabel raised to 15,000 in the big blind. Only Newman called.
Grabel checked the K♠9♦8♣ flop, and Newman bet 15,000. Grabel called to the 7♣ turn and checked again, and Newman stood up from his seat and announced all in.
"I don't know what to do. Should I stand up, too?" Grabel joked with Newman as he went deep into the tank.
"Take your time. Nobody is going to call the clock," tablemate Remo Lupo told him. Grabel agonized over the decision for several minutes, but he eventually called for his last 159,000.
He showed K♥Q♥ for top pair, while Newman had 10♥7♦ for a pair and straight draw. The A♣ river was safe for Grabel, and he earned the double up.

"This is a big one here," a tablemate said as Demetrios Frangias was all in from the big blind, while Seunghwan Moon and Federico Castro went to a flop of K♣8♣J♥ with more than 200,000 already in the pot.
Moon then bet 50,000 from early position, and Castro called in middle position. The turn was the K♦ and Moon moved all in for 137,000. Castro spent several minutes in the tank, but he eventually called to put Moon at risk.
Frangias showed 7♥7♣, while Castro had 9♥9♠. "Let's go!" Moon yelled out, shooting up from his seat and turning over Q♠Q♥. The river was the A♦ and he scooped the massive pot, sending Frangias to the rail while earning a double up off Castro.
