Bakovic Sends Grijalva to the Rail

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Alen Bakovic
Alen Bakovic

Four ways to the 732 flop, the action checked all the way to Ismael Grijalva on the button and he moved all in for 180,000. Alen Bakovic in the big blind asked for a count and called, the other two players folded.

Ismael Grijalva: K5 All in
Alen Bakovic: 87

"I am dead," Grijalva said before the cards were flipped over but he still had some outs to stay in contention. The 6 turn delivered a gutshot but the Q river spelled the end for Grijalva.

More Chips for Croffut, Jankovic Eliminated

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Aleksandar Jankovic raised to 30,000 in the cutoff and faced a raise to 310,000 from Adam Croffut in the small blind, which was the majority of his stack. Jankovic then spent a considerable amount of time tanking, given that he was the smaller of the two stacks and a pay jump was looming. Once the pay jump was secured, the remainder of the chips went in from both players.

Aleksandar Jankovic: QQ All in
Adam Croffut: A9

The 74A flop was bad news for Jankovic, and it didn't improve across the 8 turn and 3 river runout, seeing Jankovic as the latest player to hit the rail.
