Jared Griener opened the action with a raise to 12,000, and when it folded to Robert Gill, he defended the big blind.

The flop came 4♠K♠J♦ and Gill checked to Griener who bet out 11,000. Gill then raised to 27,000, before Griener then three-bet to put Gill all in for his stack of 165,000. Gill quickly made the call and the player put the cards on their back.

Robert Gill: K♥4♣ All in
Jared Griener: K♣J♠

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jared Griener opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 27,000. It then folded to the small blind Andy Garcia, who three-bet all in for 70,000. Ty Dobbertin in the big blind snap called, which got Griener to fold and leave the players heads up.

Andy Garcia: A♠J♦ All in
Ty Dobbertin: J♠J♣

Garcia ran straight into the jacks, and would need help to avoid being the bubble boy. But once the board ran out 7♦7♣K♥Q♣K♣ the pockets jacks of Dobbertin were still best, and eliminated Garcia to burst the bubble.

Jared Griener	585,000 -5,000	-5,000
