Grapenthien Takes Down a Family Pot

Jan Kores

Level 17 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

All five players on Table #5 made it to fourth street in a completed pot. Michael McKenna then fired, earning three calls before James Obst announced, "Sorry guys," as he folded.

"Party pooper," Seiken joked.

Fifth street saw Seiken fire and they were still four to sixth street where he blasted again. McKenna finally gave up but Grapenthien and Yu continued to the river.

Grapenthien bet on the last round, earning a fold from Yu but Seiken made it to the showdown, calling.

"Flush," Grapenthien declared and proved it when he rolled over his hand. Seiken couldn't beat that.
