Ludovic Geilich: 
His opponent was technically in the lead with one pair and a flush draw, but Geilich had plenty of outs as he had a wrap, a backdoor nut flush draw, and two over cards.

Joining the action on the flop of 
Calvin Anderson was in early position.
Anderson bet 10,000 in which his opponent responded with a raise to 25,000. Anderson paused before putting in the three-bet to 65,000. His opponent folded.
Anderson has had a great summer as he finished third in Event #73: $1500 Razz as well as coming second in the online $3,200 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller 8 max. He's also had success outside of the series coming third in the $2,200 Mystery Bounty at the Wynn for $ 176,243. Anderson will be hoping his great summer can conclude with a tournament win after so many close calls.
