Gross Gone

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jeff Gross just informed the PokerNews Live Reporting team that he busted moments ago.

According to Gross, a player limped from early position, the small blind completed, and Gross looked down at in the big blind. He shoved for 56,000, the limper called to put him at risk, and the small blind folded.

Gross's opponent held and took the lead on the flop, leaving Gross drawing extremely thin. The turn and river changed nothing and Gross made his way to the cage.
