Paredes Shows Graves the Exit
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Anthony Murphy began the bidding with an open to 65,000. Joseph Gaves put it all on the line when he shoved for 400,000 even from the hijack. Victor Paredes entered the picture when he woke up with a hand he wanted to go with and jammed for 625,000 from the small blind. Murphy got out of the way with a fold as Masinter and Paredes went to a showdown with Masinter at risk.
Joseph Graves: 10♠10♥
Victor Paredes: J♥J♠
Paredes had a sizeable lead over Graves with five cards to go in the race.
Graves fell even further behind on the 9♥8♥5♣ flop.
The 2♣ turn was a blank, and the 7♦ river gave it to Paredes, as that was the last card Graves would see in the tournament.
At other tables, Eric Cossey and Greg Byard also hit the payout desk.
