Felix Trau raised from under-the-gun and looked set to collect the blinds and antes, that was until Nick Grippo called from the big blind.
Grippo then check-called an 8,500 bet on the 
flop and checked on the 
turn. Trau checked behind. Grippo led for 25,000 on the 
river and Trau quickly released.
Jeff Gross got all of his chips in versus David Jacobson preflop.
Jacobson: 
Gross: 
The board ran out 
and Gross doubled, leaving Jacobson very short.

Mark Herm raised to 8,500 preflop and Jason Koon three-bet-shoved for 40,000 from the next seat over. The action passed back to Herm, who had one of the easiest decisions of his career to make because he had pocket aces. Koon flipped pocket sevens onto their backs and the rest, as they say, is history.
