Cooler Goes in Grote's Favor

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After some raising back and forth in the blinds, Horace Ford and Christopher Grote got all the chips into the middle in a pot worth around 400,000, with Ford the player at risk.

Horace Ford: AK All in
Christopher Grote: KK

It was a cooler, and Ford needed to spike one of the three remaining aces in the deck to keep his chances of making Day 3 alive.

The dealer put out the 21055K runout to give Grote a set, ending Ford's deep run in the tournament.
