Gregoire Hits a Miracle One-Outer
Level 22
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
We weren't near the table when the following hand played out, but the shouts across the Miranda ballroom have been very clear: Some cruel bad beat must have happened.
"Yes!" Matthew Gregoire shouted.

We were informed that it was a set-over-set confrontation where Gregoire was on the wrong side. However, the river changed everything as he caught his one-outer, hitting quads to stay alive.
When we approached the table, the chips have already been shipped to Gregoire who has his hand turned up, the ![]()

Blumenthal's hand was already in the muck but it was obvious that he held aces.
