Triple Draw Spells the End to Gregorich's Day

Mark Gregorich
Mark Gregorich

2-7 Triple Draw:

Jerrod Ankenman, Mark Gregorich and Tim Burt all put in 16,000 before the first draw and proceeded to take one, two, and two respectively. Ankenman, who won this event in 2009, then bet, Gregorich moved all in for 7,400 and Burt called. Not to be deterred, Ankenman three-bet it to 11,400 total and Burt called.

Each player drew another card and Ankenman bet again, which Burt called. This time Ankenman stood pat while Gregorich and Burt each drew one. Ankenman bet for a third time at the end, which inspired Burt to fold.

Ankenman rolled over {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}, while Gregorich just flashed the {K-Clubs}, mucked, and then took his leave in 35th place, good for $5,599.

Meanwhile, Kyle Bowker followed Gregorich out the door in 34th place.

Anderson Ends D'Agostino's Run

John D'Agostino just got eliminated by Calvin Anderson in 36th place, and we caught the action on the turn.

Limit Hold'em

The board read {10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades} when D'Agostino bet 8,000 and Anderson made the call from the button. The river was the {K-Spades} and D'Agostino immediately fired out another 8,000 with just 7,700 behind. Anderson announced raise, and reluctantly D'Agostino called.

Anderson turned over {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and D'Agostino frustratedly mucked his cards as he got knocked ou in 36th place. Anderson is now one of the chip leaders of the tournament.

Schwartz Flushed by Greenstein

Noah Schwartz
Noah Schwartz

No Limit Hold'em:

After growing short stacked, Noah Schwartz moved all in from the cutoff for his last 13,000, which inspired the button to fold. "How much is it?" Barry Greenstein asked from the small blind. "Nevermind, I call."

Showdown
Schwartz: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Greenstein: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Schwartz had a 52.44% chance of winning the hand. That actually dropped to 51.62% on the {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop as Greenstein picked up a flush draw to go with his overs.

Wouldn't you know it, the {Q-Spades} spiked on the turn to make Greenstein 90.91% favorite, meaning Schwartz needed either a six or eight on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {10-Diamonds}, officially putting an end to Schwartz's day in 39th place.

Anderson Flops a Set of Aces to Eliminate Schwartz

Ylon Schwartz
Ylon Schwartz

Pot Limit Omaha:

A short-stacked Ylon Schwatz got his chips all in preflop and was up against Calvin Anderson.

Showdown
Schwartz: {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Anderson: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

"They're not good aces," Anderson said in reference to the cards accompanying his pocket rockets. With that said, they became great aces when the flop fell {10-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Hearts} and delivered him a set. The {9-Clubs} turn gave Schwartz a set as well, but he needed more. Unfortunately for him, the {3-Spades} river was not what he was looking for and he was eliminated from the tournament.
