Richard Gryko Eliminated in 8th Place ($203,027)
Level 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Eelis Parssinen opened with a pot-sized raise to 1,400,000 and the action folded all the way to Richard Gryko in the big blind. The Brit used one time bank before he repotted to 4,400,000 with 500,000 behind.
Parssinen verified the amount and even vaulted out of his chair while tossing one time bank extension card to the dealer. He then pushed all-in with the marginally covering stack and Gryko called.
Richard Gryko: K♣K♠9♥8♥
Eelis Parssinen: Q♦Q♣10♦4♣
The Q♠5♥4♥ flop gave Parssinen top set while Gryko had outs with his overpair and flush draw. However, the A♠ turn and A♦ river only paired the board to improve Parssinen to queens full of aces. That spelled the end for Gryko, out in 8th place for $203,027.
