Pinheiro Flops the Joint to Eliminate Racionero

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to Igor Pinheiro in the small blind who announced all in. Francisco Racionero looked down at his cards in the big blind and quickly called off his stack of around 150,000.

Francisco Racionero: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Igor Pinheiro: {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to give Pinheiro a full house and leave Racionero nearly drawing dead.

"Ok," Racionero said as he stood up from his seat. The turn and river provided no help and Racionero headed to the payout desk.

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian
Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian

Daniel Kirsch raised to 23,000 from early position and he was called by Chris 'The Armenian Express' Grigorian from the cutoff and Paul Hizer from the big blind.

Kirsch continued with a bet of 42,000 on the {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop after Hizer checked his option in the big blind. Grigorian called but Hizer folded.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Kirsch checked this time. Grigorian put 75,000 in the middle and it didn't take too long for Kirsch to announce all in. Grigorian was thinking about it and he eventually called.

Kirsch had the best hand with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} but Grigorian was drawing to a lot of outs with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The river turned out to be the {a-Hearts} and that card awarded Grigorian with the flush and thus the best hand.
