Ronnie D'Grillo made it 32,000 before John Michalak pushed all in for 81,000. Gene Amplement responded by pushing all in having them both covered and D'Grillo called it off before three classic hands were shown down creating shock and awe from all in attendance.

Michalak:
Amplement:
D'Grillo:

The board ran out and while Michalak tripled up and Amplement chipped up, D'Grillo busted.

In The Tank

[user127999]

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

It's all business at the final table as we've reached a portion of the tournament marred by excessive tanking and extremely slow play.

Jimmy Thomson had picked up steam and a number of hands lately, but just drew out a hand over seven full minutes eventually tank-folding to a continuation bet on an all diamonds king-high flop from Rob Davis after raising then tank-calling a three-bet.
