Fagan Triples, Leaves Gross on the Outside Looking In
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The action folded to Shawn Fagan in the cutoff who ripped all in for around 300,000. Alan Sternberg called on the button and Jeff Gross stuck in the last of his 140,000 chips from the small blind.
Jeff Gross: A♣K♣
Shawn Fagan: Q♣J♥
Alan Sternberg: A♠8♠
The flop came 10♦9♣7♥ and Gross was still in the lead but his opponents had plenty of equity. The turn brought the K♦ to give Fagan the nut straight and both of his opponents were left drawing dead to the 7♣ on the river. Fagan earned nearly a triple up while Gross was sent to the rail early on Day 5.
