Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 7,500 ante
Grant Oen
Grant Oen

John Capitano was automatically all in from the big blind for 3,500. Grant Oen then limped in on the button, and Stephen Moreschi completed his small blind. Moreschi drew three cards, Capitano drew two, and Oen stood pat.

Once it was time for showdown, Moreschi quickly flashed ace-king low before Oen tabled 10x8x6x5x3x for a ten-low. Capitano had 8x3x2x, but turned over an 8x as his first drawn card, leaving him drawing dead.

He said his goodbyes in 81st place as he turned over his remaining 7x, with the 80 remaining players all being in the money.
