Double Up for Griffa

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gerard Griffa raised to 6,000 and got called by the big blind.

A flop {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} was dealt and the big blind check-called Griffa for 11,000. The {a-Spades} fell on the turn and both players checked.

On the {5-Spades} river, the big blind checked again and Griffa sent 12,000 in the middle. The big blind raised, putting Griffa at risk for an effective stack of 50,700 and the latter called.

Griffa tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for two pair and the big blind quickly sent {j-}{10-} into the muck.

Polk Gets Flushed to the Rail

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

Doug Polk raised it up to 4,500 in middle position and Justin Chu defended from the big blind. The flop came {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Chu check-called a bet of 4,000 from Polk.

The turn brought the {j-Hearts} and Chu checked again. Polk tossed in another bet of 14,000 this time and Chu check-raised all in. Polk had just over 40,500 remaining and gave it some thought before making the call for his tournament life.

Doug Polk: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Justin Chu: {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Polk turned top pair but Chu had a pair and a flush draw. The river was the {6-Hearts} and Chu improved to a flush, sending Polk to the rail but not before everyone got a "good game".

Scotty Nguyen
Scotty Nguyen

On a heads-up turn board of {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}, former Main Event Champion and poker legend Scotty Nguyen bet 6,000 into the pot after the big blind checked to hin.

The big blind called and the players saw the {9-Hearts} on the river. The big blind took one last peek at his cards...

"You don't know what you have, baby?" Nguyen teased in his trademark manner.

The player just responded by checking over to Nguyen who quickly fired off a bet of 7,000. After a few moments his opponent folded and Nguyen was awarded the pot.

Richards Knocks Out Ortega

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a heads-up pot, the flop read {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and James Richards check-called a bet of 7,000 from Eddy Ortega in the big blind.

Things heated up on the {3-Clubs} turn. Richards checked again and Ortega fired 13,000. Richards thought about his move for a minute and raised to 100,000, putting Ortega at risk for his last 35,000 chips. The latter called and they tabled their cards:

Eddy Ortega: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
James Richards: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Richards had found a straight on the turn and Ortega didn't get any help with the {8-Hearts} river to be eliminated from the Main Event.
