Vanauken Gets Gottlieb

Ross Gottlieb
Ross Gottlieb

In Level 11 with blinds of 1,400/2,800 and an ante of 350, a blind-on-blind battle ensued between Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken in the small blind and Ross "thehebrewhammer" Gottlieb in the big blind that saw stacks go into the middle and ultimately bring a board of {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Ross "thehebrewhammer" Gottlieb: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Gottlieb had flopped top two pair but Vanauken hit a set of aces on the turn that left Gottlieb with nothing but chop outs to survive. He missed on the river {3-Hearts} and was eliminated as a result, with Vanauken earning the bounty and the pot to take his stack up to 280,000.
