Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

John Griswold got short and got it all in with {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} on a {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop against Rob Burgstahler's {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} run out filled up Burgstahler and missed Griswold's open-ender.

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After limping in to Marcy Jo Phillips big blind, John Abraham shoved all in on the {q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop.

However, Phillips held {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} and made the obvious call. Abraham held {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} but couldn't beat her straight after the {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades} run out.
