Jason Langianese
Jason Langianese

Glyn Griffis raised to 20,000 from under the gun and was looked up by Gary Benson in the small blind and Jason Langianese in the big blind.

The flop came 4410 and it was checked to Griffis who continued for 35,000. Benson folded and Langianese put in a check-raise to 100,000. Griffis made the call.

On the 8 turn Langianese moved all in for 231,000. Griffis thought for a while and made the call to put Langianese at risk.

Jason Langianese: 43 All in
Glyn Griffis: A10

Langianese had flopped the goods but Griffis had a monster draw to send him packing.

There was no drama for Langianese on the 3 river, which filled him up, and he was pushed the massive pot for a double-up.

On the outer tables we lost Howard Mash, Richard Kaplan, John Juanda, Tongguang Sun and Lee Markholt.
