Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Kyle Grupp moved all in preflop for close to 3,000,000 and was quickly called by Andrew Manchen to put him at risk.

Kyle Grupp: 5♠5♥ All in
Andrew Manchen: 9♥9♣

Grupp would need some help to stay alive, but the flop of Q♦9♦Q♠ was not ideal as Manchen instantly made a full house. The turn 4♠ left Grupp drawing dead and the river was just an added needle as it came the 5♦.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dane Miller moved all in preflop and was called by Kyle Grupp to put him at risk.

Dane Miller: A♦K♣ All in
Kyle Grupp : 3♠3♥

Grupp was a slight favorite going into this flip with his pair, but the flop of K♥A♠7♥ quickly gave the lead to Miller with top two pair. Miraculously, the turn was the 3♣ for Grupp to jump back into the lead with a set, but almost impossibly, the A♥ smacked down on the river to give Miller a bigger full house to claim the pot.

Grupp looked sick to his stomach as a large chunk of his stack was pushed over to Miller and he was now one of the shorter stacks.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dane Miller	4,100,000 2,500,000	2,500,000
Kyle Grupp	2,250,000 -3,150,000	-3,150,000

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Valore open-shoved under-the-gun and the action folded all the way to Andrew Manchen in the big blind.

After thinking it over for a few moments, he decided to make the call to put Valore at risk of elimination.

Michael Valore: A♣9♥ All in
Andrew Manchen: 7♦7♣

Valore would need to improve to keep his tournament run alive, but the runout of 4♠6♠J♠8♥8♦ could not do it and he was sent to the payout desk in sixth place.

With this finish, he has also cemented his place as the RGPS/WPT Golden Podium Winner!

Manchen Makes the Call

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Andrew Manchen made it 200,000 to go preflop and was called by Michael Valore to see a flop of 4♥Q♥A♥.

Manchen led for 150,000 and Valore called to continue to the 8♠ turn. Manchen bet again for 200,000 and was called once more by Valore.

When the J♠ hit the river, Manchen fired again for 200,000, but then Valore moved all in to cover, which sent Manchen into the tank.

After almost a minute, Manchen made the call and Valore tabled Q♦3♥ for just a pair of queens, at which point Manchen rolled over A♦10♣ for a superior pair of aces to take the huge pot.
