Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The first of the opening flight chip leaders has been eliminated as Stephen Graner has busted.
Armando Mesina opened action in late position with a raise to 12,000. Derek Molnar called in the cutoff and Graner jammed for almost 200,000 from the small blind.
Mesina folded, but Molnar called and had Graner in bad shape.

, bringing Molnar a set, and running fives were not in the cards for Graner on the 
turn and 
river.
