Looper Pushes Back

Level 27 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

On a flop of {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}, William Looper led for 131,000. Clint Tolbert took a moment before moving two handfuls of chips into the middle for a raise to 290,000.

Action was back on Looper and after about fifteen seconds he announced that he was all in for roughly 990,000 total. Tolbert went into the tank.

"You're repping a lot of hands here," said Tolbert with a smile.

Tolbert released after about ninety seconds and Looper was awarded the pot. Looper currently has about 1.35 million in chips.

Grandieri Gets Some Back

Level 27 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

David Grandieri raised to 50,000 from the hijack seat, and four players called, including Jonathan Tamayo (cutoff), Luke Graham (button), Ryan Carter (small blind), and Chris Hyden (big blind).

The flop fell {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades}, and all five players checked.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}, the action checked to Grandieri, who fired 87,000, and only Graham called.

The river brought the {2-Clubs}, and Grandieri led out for 67,000. Graham quickly called, then mucked when Grandieri showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for a pair of aces.

Grandieri Continues to Climb

Level 27 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Luke Graham made it 55,00 from early position and it folded around to Mark Rose who called from the small blind. David Grandieri tagged along from the big blind and the dealer fanned {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Two checks to Graham prompted a 100,000-chip bet. Rose mucked and Grandieri stuck around.

The {7-Hearts} turned and Grandieri took this opportunity to take charge with 145,000. Graham flat called and the {2-Spades} rivered.

"Two sixty-five," announced Grandieri.

At that Graham instantly threw his hand to the muck and Grandieri scooped the pot. He's currently sitting on a monster stack of about 2.9 million.
