Calum Grant

Level 6

Ante: 300
Bring In: 500
Completion: 1,500
Limits: 1,500-3,000

John Ma: 6x5x2x / 6xJx3x5x All in
Matthew Valeo: XxXxXx / Ax5xKxAx
Mark Epstein: 8x6x6x / 4x9x10x7x

Matthew Valeo completed before Mark Epstein raised on his direct left. Two seats over was John Ma, who reraised and received calls from Valeo and Epstein.

Valeo remained as the low on fourth street and bet. Epstein called with Ma putting in his last chips to be at risk of elimination.

Fifth street checked through where Valeo called a bet. Seventh street then checked through to showdown.

Epstein showed his 8x6x6x down cards to have 9-8-7-6-4, which prompted Valeo to muck his board. Ma, who turned over 6x5x2x, paired up twice to leave him with J-6-5-3-2, which wasn't enough to save him from elimination.
