Grandin Triples, Brunette Nearly Doubles

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dave Grandin
Dave Grandin

Dave Grandin jammed for 31,000 from the hijack, and Kenneth Brunette three-bet shoved for 178,000 in the small blind. Ken Donarski called in the big blind to put both players at risk.

Dave Grandin: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Kenneth Brunette: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Ken Donarski: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Brunette held on the {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Spades} flop and {10-Clubs} turn, but it was Grandin who binked the {2-Diamonds} river to earn the main pot, while Brunette settled for a healthy side pot.

Trost Gets Lucky to Double

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Craig Trost
Craig Trost

Craig Trost three-bet shoved for 121,000 from the small blind over an open from Marcus Yofon on the button, and Yofon called.

Craig Trost: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Marcus Yofon: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Trost was dominated, but the {q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop bailed him out with top two pair. Yofon couldn't find a king on the {7-Spades} turn or {3-Hearts} river, and Trost doubled up.

Bowman Eliminates Scully

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ryan Scully
Ryan Scully

Cero Zuccarello opened for 16,000 on the button and Ryan Scully three-bet jammed from the small blind. Action was won Jesse Bowman who came over the top from the big blind getting a fold from Zuccarello.

Ryan Scully: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Jesse Bowman: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Scully was at risk and connected on the {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop but it wasn't good enough as the board completed with the {5-Clubs} on the turn along with the {6-Spades} on the river ending his Main Event run.

Zarco Rivers the Nuts and Gets Paid

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Javier Zarco
Javier Zarco

A pot of 125,000 had already built up between Gerald Siemienas in the big blind and Javier Zarco in the hijack, and the complete {3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} board was already on the felt.

Siemienas checked over to Zarco, who jammed for 179,000. Siemienas called, showing {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a turned nut straight, but Zarco had rivered the nuts himself with his {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to earn a big double.

Zuccarello Takes a Chunk From Scully

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Cero Zuccarello
Cero Zuccarello

Aaron Johnson raised to 17,000 from middle position, and was called by Cero Zuccarello in the cutoff, Ryan Scully on the button, and Vincent Torcolese in the big blind.

Action checked through the {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop, and action checked to Zuccarello on the {9-Hearts} turn. Zuccarello bet 50,000 and only Scully called.

Both players checked the {j-Hearts} river, and Scully tabled {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Zuccarello beat Scully on the turn with his {k-Spades}{9-Spades}, however, and took down the pot.

Golla Wields the Big Stack

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Pratap Golla
Pratap Golla

Pratap Golla bet 70,000 into a pot of 125,000 on a {q-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} board from the big blind, and Nikolas Stone tanked for a minute before making the call from the hijack.

The {7-Hearts} completed the board on the river, and Golla bet 500,000, more than enough to put Stone at risk for his last 220,000. Stone thought for just a moment before releasing his hand.

Eddie Blumenthal: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Ravi Raghavan: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Ryan Scully: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Vang Coolered By Ploof

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Kou Vang
Kou Vang

Kou Vang raised to 13,000 from the cutoff, and Matthew Ploof three-bet to 38,000 from the button. Vang called.

Vang checked the {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop over to Ploof, who announced, "All in." Vang quickly called off his last 118,000.

Kou Vang: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Matthew Ploof: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

Vang's kings were crushed by the aces of Ploof, and the {2-Spades} turn and {2-Diamonds} river left Vang heading for the payout desk.

Raghavan Binks and Doubles

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ravi Raghavan
Ravi Raghavan

Ravi Raghavan jammed for 50,000 from under the gun, and action folded to John Gallaher in the big blind.

"I think I have this guy's favorite hand," Gallaher said, gesturing towards Ryan "Jesus" Scully, before calling.

Ravi Raghavan: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
John Gallaher: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

"How'd you know?" Scully said with a laugh.

Gallaher pulled ahead on the {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, and improved to trips on the {8-Clubs} turn, leaving Raghavan looking for a five to survive.

"I jinxed you, didn't I?" Scully said to Raghavan.

"Nope!" Raghavan said once the {5-Clubs} fell on the river, sending him an unlikely double.

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ryan Scully
Ryan Scully

James Kijowski open-jammed for 55,000 middle position and Ryan Scully called from the small blind.

Ryan Scully: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
James Kijowski: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Kijowski was at risk but held live cards and flopped an open-ended staright draw {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop.

The {10-Diamonds} turn paired the board and the {10-Clubs} followed on the river to give Scully the elimination with ace-high.
