Grisham Outdraws Gaziev

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Matt Grisham
Matt Grisham

Matt Grisham opened for 21,000 in middle position and saw Sardor Gaziev three-bet all in from the small blind. Grisham thought awhile and called it off with {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for about 90,000, and Gaziev had him crushed with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

The flop came {3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, leaving Grisham way behind, but he found a {j-Diamonds} on the turn and celebrated wildly despite still having 10 cards to fade. The {q-Hearts} was safe on the river for him, leaving Gaziev disgusted.

John Holley busted out a bit ago at the same table.

Monroe Bluffs Frei

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Rich Monroe raised to 6,500 from middle position and was called by Ian Beall on his left. Action folded to Aaron Frei, who three-bet to 17,000. Only Monroe called, and Frei checked the {2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop. Monroe shoved all in for 42,700, and Frei tanked for a bit.

"I'll fold to you one time," he said, showing {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

"You know... that's exactly what I put you on," Monroe said, flipping {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} into the middle.

Ross Calls it a Night

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mike Ross got his last 12,100 in on a reraise and was called by the opener, who had {6-}{6-}. Ross had {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, and he called for a six and got one on the flop. He was drawing dead by the turn.

Flush for Frei

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The players in the big blind and on the button had 4,000 in front of them preflop, while a player in middle position had shoved for 42,500. Aaron Frei thought for awhile and made the call on the all-in player's left, and the other two folded.

"Probably called you a little light," Frei said, showing {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

"Yeah, I have the best hand," the player said, turning {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Equities remained close after a {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, but a {k-Clubs} turn left Frei with a lock.

Bohn Pushing 300,000 After Busting Prom

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Blake Bohn
Blake Bohn

Blake Bohn and Phanora Prom have been butting heads quite a bit today, but it was Bohn getting the final strike in the rivalry as he opened for 2,500 during one of the last hands of the previous level in late position and saw Prom make it 6,700 in the big blind. Bohn called, and a {q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop hit the felt. Prom bet, and Bohn raised to about 25,000. Prom announced all in, causing Bohn to shoot out of his seat and snap-call.

Bohn turned over {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for queens up, ahead of his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for top pair. Bohn still had cards to fade, but the {9-Spades} and {j-Diamonds} kept things clean for him.

"Nice hand," Prom said. "Nice job."
