Grau Makes Two Pair to Send Out Huang

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Tim Grau
Tim Grau

Polun Huang opened 28,000 in the hijack, and Tim Grau came along from the big blind.

When the Q73 flop hit the felt, Grau pushed a stack of reds across the line and Huang called off his remaining 58,000.

Polun Huang: AQ92 All in
Tim Grau: Q865

Huang was ahead with his top pair ace-kicker, but the 6 turn improved Grau to two pair to take the lead and Huang was unable to catch up as the J completed the board on the river.

No Cash for Geci

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With the bubble looming, short stack Endrit Geci was all in and at risk against Patrick Naylor and Jesse Rockowitz. There was also a small side pot between Naylor and Rockowitz, but neither active player added more to it during the 973410 rundown.

Geci showed AKQJ for ace-king, Naylor showed AJ106 for a pair of tens, and Rockowitz then revealed KKJ7 for a pair of kings to take the pot.

Elsewhere, Steven Forman was also eliminated.

Chino Rheem: KKJ3

Savill's Second Barrel Gets Through

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sterling Savill opened the action from early position to 24,000 and only Raj Vohra from big blind came along for a flop.

1092 was good enough for Savill to continue, firing out 40,000. Vohra check-called the bet.

A board-pairing 9 turn peeled off and Savill bet once more, this time to 50,000. Vohra reluctantly folded and Savill chipped up.

The action folded around to Frederick Hoban in the small blind before he raised the maximum of 24,000. Quan Tran was in the big blind and made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of J1010, and Hoban splashed his last 56,000 across the line. Tran wasted little time before making the fold.

Hoban let out a breath of fresh air as he flashed KxKxQx.
