We caught the action with a completed board of {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Patrick Steele was facing a bet of 8,400. Steele raised to 21,500 and his opponent went into the tank. After quite a bit of thought he would let his hand go and the former MSPT Player Of The Year padded his stack.

Griebe Coolers Ross

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After a raise to 2,600 from under the gun, Michael Ross three-bet to 7,000 from the cutoff. Michael Griebe four-bet to 18,000 from the small blind. The original raiser got out of the way and Ross moved all in. Griebe quickly called and tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, much to the dismay of Ross who turned over {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

The board ran out {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Griebe raked the big double.

Matheny Gets There

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 2,700 and Mike Matheny reraised to 6,300 from the small blind. His opponent called and they saw a flop of {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Matheny checked and his opponent bet 7,000. Matheny raised to 16,500 and his opponent called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and both players checked. A {10-Spades} river brought two more checks and Matheny turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for the rivered straight. His opponent slammed the table in disgust and sat in disbelief before finally mucking his hand.
