Double KO For Gryko

If cards came to those who called them most fervently, Williamson III would always win
If cards came to those who called them most fervently, Williamson III would always win

A reasonable stack just became, er, irrefutable as Richard Gryko eliminates both Howard Lederer and Robert Williamson III in the same hand and makes his stack a menace to his table. Preflop was the scene of the crime - he'd raised to 1,300 on the button and small blind Williamson III had called, before Howard Lederer moved all in (after presumably limping to begin with) for what looked like 6,700. Gryko repopped it to give the third player an all-in or pass scenario, and with 13,200 he had a decision. At least, he talked a lot about the size of the main and side pots, whether this was how you play tournament poker, and that it was very important how much Lederer had compared to himself. In the end he called regardless, and three hands were on their backs:

Gryko: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Lederer: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Williamson III: {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}

An inconveniently placed pillar prevented the board from being visible easily, so rather than risk incorrect cards, I can tell you that from Robert Williamson's commentary he picked up a pair and some sort of multi-draw, but that on the river he still had that hand and that Aces were the winner of the lot, having found Lederer with the perfect hand to dominate. Gryko over 50k.
