Paul Griem Eliminated in 23rd Place ($25,919)

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Paul Greim - 23rd place
Paul Greim - 23rd place

Eric Froehlich and Paul Griem got it all in before the flop, Greim beginning the hand with the shorter stack of around 300,000. He was in good shape with {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, but Froehlich was looking to spoil the party with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}.

And spoil it he would, in most exciting fashion. The board? {6-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}. That's too many hearts for Griem, his kings flushed down the drain by Froehlich. With the knockout pot, E-Fro chips over a big milestone and into second place with 1.26 million. Griem is left with no chips, but he will take home more than $25,000 in cash.
