Ryan Riess opened to 52,000 in middle position, and the action folded to Nick Grippo, who moved all in for 472,000 from the big blind. Riess asked for a count, went into the tank, then made the call.
Riess: 
Grippo: 
Grippo, who took down the 2012 SCOOP Main Event, needed help, but received nothing from the 
flop or the 
on the turn.
He was getting up out of his chair as the 
completed the board, and shook a few hands before exiting.
Grippo is gone, while Riess is now floating around 2 million chips.

Action folded to Sean Szurko in middle position, and he opened with a raise to 60,000. Brad Albrinck flat-called the raise in the hijack position, and then James Henson reraised to 185,000 from the cutoff seat. After action folded back to Szurko, he gave it up, and play moved back to Albrinck.
Albrinck took a few moments, then reraised to 525,000. Henson wasted almost no time in announcing that he was all in, and Albrinck was faced with a big decision as he had just over 1.1 million behind.
Albrinck tanked for several minutes, but then laid down the face up on the table. Henson didn't show and casually scooped in the pot.
