Grapes Hits a King

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Matt Grapenthien completed and called when James Obst made it two bets.

The two continued to fourth street and Obst kept firing. Grapenthien check-called on fourth and repeated the action on fifth.

Sixth street, however, gave Grapenthien a second king to his board and he led out with his high pair. Obst moved a protecting chip away from his cards, then he took them and paused for a few seconds before finally sliding his hand into the muck.

Matt Grapenthien: {X-}{X-} / {7-Spades}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
James Obst: {X-}{X-} / {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} - fold

Gronning Magnetizes Hearts, Runs into a Boat

Lars Gronning

A few moments ago, Lars Gronning rolled out an all-heart board in a hand against Andrew Kelsall. His board looked almost identical when he went to a battle against Jordan Siegel.

Siegel completed with a nine of spades and Gronning had the bring-in with {3-Hearts}. He called and caught a suited queen while Siegel spiked a suited ace. Siegel led out and Gronning called.

His board hit another heart on fifth and Siegel slowed down, check-calling. Siegel then paired an eight on sixth and check-called one more bet as Gronning hit yet another heart card.

Siegel checked the river, allowing Gronning to fire one final barrel. Then he check-raised and Gronning called.

"Aces full," Siegel said, opening his {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} / {9-Spades}{A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Gronning tapped the felt and mucked his hand, shaking his head.

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Eric Kurtzman completed with the {A-Clubs} and three players joined him to fourth street: James Obst, Nicholas Seiken, and Mike Wattel.

Obst and Wattel folded to Kurtzman's bet when he had ace-king out, but Seiken called with two spade cards.

Fifth street was checked but Kurtzman's board paired a six on sixth and he fired again. Seiken called and Kurtzman bet the river.

"Open-ended, flush draw," Seiken whispered with a sad tone. However, he still made the call.

"I have a set," Kurtzman said, showing {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} / {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for the winner.

Seiken flashed two of his cards which looked to be {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} and then repeated that he missed a big draw.

Lars Gronning: {K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} / {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Jordan Siegel: {X-}{X-}{X-} / {10-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}
