Hand #70 - Stewart Scott

Peter Rho has the button in Seat 6. Elliot Smith raises to 100,000 and is called by Stewart Scott. Everyone else folds. It's a rainbow flop of {5-Spades} {k-Clubs} {7-Hearts}. Smith leads out for 150,000 and is raised by Scott to 400,000. Smith has to think about that raise. He tanks for about a minute, absent-mindedly riffling a short stack of chips, before mucking his hand.

Zach Gruneberg - 6th Place
Zach Gruneberg - 6th Place
Hand No. 69 -

Stewart Scott has the button in Seat 5. Zach Gruneberg opens to 100,000 in middle position and Rajkumar Ramakrishnan calls from the big blind. The flop comes {4-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {4-Spades} and Ramakrishnan check-calls a bet of 150,000 from Gruneberg. The turn is the {7-Diamonds} and Ramakrishnan checks once again. Gruneberg announces all in and Ramakrishnan calls instantly, turning over {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} for quads! A dejected Gruneberg flips over {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}; he's drawing dead.

A meaningless {9-Hearts} is the river card. Zach Gruneberg is consoled by his fellow players. He earns AU$210,000 for his impressive sixth place showing.

Hand #68 - Stewart Scott

Elliot Smith has the button in Seat 3. Zach Gruneberg raises to 100,000 and is called by Stewart Scott from the small blind. The flop comes {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. Scott quickly checks to Gruneberg. He bets 150,000, all in yellow (5,000) chips. Scott calls using chocolate (25,000) chips. The turn is the {9-Spades}. Scott again checks to Gruneberg, who checks behind.

The river is the {8-Spades}, putting three spades on board. Scott checks a third time. Gruneberg fires out for 300,000 chips. Scott shakes his head and says, "Call." Gruneberg instantly mucks his hand without showing. Although there is no reason for Scott to open his hand, he shows {K-?} {Q-?}.

Scott moved over 6 million in chips after collecting that pot.

Play Resumes

Cards are back in the air. While the players were away at dinner, chip leader Stewart Scott changed his entire outfit. He's now wearing a gray button-down shirt and dark blazer.

Hand #65 - Elliot Smith

Rajkumar Ramakrishnan has the button in Seat 7. Elliot Smith raises to 100,000 and is called only by Sam Capra. The flop comes down {k-Hearts} {2-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. Capra checks it over to Smith, who bets another 100,000. Capra again calls.

The turn is the {8-Hearts}. Capra changes things up by leading into Smith for 200,000. Smith, newly flush with chips, decides to call. The river falls {3-Hearts}, putting three to a flush and a pair on the board. Both players check. Capra shows {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} for sixes and threes; Smith tables {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs} for two pair, eights and threes, and the winner.
