Huge Cooler Sends Rose Above 1.8 Million; Campanello Crippled

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

It all started when Mark Rose min-raised to 32,000 from early position. Luke Graham min-three-bet to 48,000 in the cutoff seat, and Bryan Campanello cold four-bet to 112,000 from the big blind. Rose tanked for the better part of two minutes, assembled a rainbow stack of chips, the pushed it forward, five-betting to 278,000.

Graham let out a long sigh, checked his cards one more time, and folded. Campanello asked the dealer to cut out the bet, and once he did, Campanello announced that he was all in.

Rose snapped it off, calling the 891,000-chip bet, and the hands were opened.

Rose: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Campanello: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

There were 1.85 million chips in the middle when the dealer fanned {4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} - no help to Campanello.

The {7-Diamonds} on the turn was a brick, leaving Campanello just two outs to win the pot.

Only a queen would do it, but the {5-Clubs} completed the board, and Rose shipped the massive double up. He now sits in second chip position, while Campanello is left with 326,000.

Graham Pushing

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After an early position raise to 33,000, Luke Graham made it 75,000 to go. It folded to Chris Hyden who four-bet to 188,000 from the small blind. The original raiser folded and Graham called.

The flop was {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Hyden continued for 115,000. Graham tank-called and the {7-Diamonds} dropped down on fourth street. Hyden decided to slow down with a check and Graham bet enough to put him all in. Hyden let go and Graham was pushed the pot.

Bryan Campanello Eliminated in 16th Place ($10,392)

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Bryan Campanello - 16th Place
Bryan Campanello - 16th Place

Chris Hyden raised in the hijack seat, Bryan Campanello three-bet shoved for 270,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Hyden, who called.

Hyden: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Campanello: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The two were off to the races, but Hyden's tens "outran" Campanello's overcards as the board came {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Campanello will collect a little over ten grand for his efforts, while Hyden now sits with 625,000 chips.

Tolbert Takes Charge

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Picking up with the action on a board of {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Clint Tolbert checked to Arshin Gamini who fired out a bet of 130,000. Tolbert dipped into his stack and came out with a call, prompting the dealer to finish off the board with the {4-Hearts}.

Tolbert rapped the table once more and Gamini slowly and deliberately counted out a bet of 250,000. Tolbert went into the tank for about a minute before finally slinging out a single chip, declaring a call. Gamini instantly threw his hand into the muck and Tolbert tabled {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a pair of kings. He took down the pot and is now sitting on about 1.55 million. Gamini has been crippled and sports only about 205,000.

Another Monster Hand for Birnbaum

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Nancy Birnbaum opened to 76,000 from under the gun, Timothy Harrell called in middle position, and the rest of the action folded.

The dealer fanned {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Birnbaum led out for 130,000. Harrell tanked, then assembled to stacks of chips, raising to 305,000. The second Harrell released his chips, Birnbaum announced, "All in."

Harrell went into the tank, then finally asked for a count after two minutes or so. The dealer cut out Birnbaum's stack, and the all-in bet was for 557,000. Once he knew the amount, Harrell immediately called.

Birnbaum: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Harrell: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Birnbaum's kings held as the turn and river came {8-Clubs}, {9-Spades} respectively, doubling her to around 1.275 million chips. Harrell is left with 280,000.

Grandieri Takes from Rose

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mark Rose limped in from the small blind, David Grandieri checked his option in the big blind, and the dealer spread {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Rose checked, Grandieri fired 22,000, and Rose check-raised to 61,000. Grandieri tank-called.

The turn was the {a-Spades}, and Rose led out for 133,000. Grandieri called.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board, and both players knuckled.

"Jack," Rose announced.

Grandieri snapped over {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a pair of threes, and Rose unhappily mucked his hand.

Peter Drager
Peter Drager

Action folded to Peter Drager's button and he moved all in for his last 281,000. Tom Gleason tanked from the big blind for well over a minute before finally announcing a call.

Drager: {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Gleason: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Gleason jumped out into the lead when he paired up on the {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Drager was now hunting for an ace but did not find it as the {3-Diamonds} turned and the {9-Diamonds} rivered. Drager will take over $12,613 for his efforts while Gleason has increased his stack to about 1.2 million.

Hyden Jams Turn, Graham Gets Up

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

David Grandieri raised to 43,000 from middle position, and received three callers, including Luke Graham (cutoff seat), Ryan Carter (button), and Chris Hyden (small blind).

The dealer fanned {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and Hyden tanked before leading out for 93,000. Both Grandieri and Graham called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and Hyden sat quietly for over a minute.

"All in," Hyden announced, committing the rest of his 606,000-chip stack.

Grandieri went deep into the tank, and while he was thinking, Graham asked the dealer if he could leave the table for a second. The dealer said no, because he's still in the hand. It appeared as if Graham spilled something on his shirt, and needed a napkin to wipe it off. A server went to retrieve one for him, and when she returned, Graham got up from the table and met her half way.

Grandieri was upset with this, and the dealer said that he would call the floor after the hand. Graham got back into his seat, Grandieri folded, and Graham instantly folded.

Tournament Director Bill Bruce had been observing the later part of the hand, and explained to Graham why leaving the table with action still pending is bad etiquette.

"If you do it again, you're going to get a two-round penalty," Bruce warned him.

Graham sincerely apologized to the table.
