First Grey, Then Black

A late position player bet out on a {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, David Grey bet 11,000, a middle position player reraised behind him, Frank Vizza repopped it from the button, and Grey pushed all in with his 110,000. Both players called.

Vizza had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a wrap draw. David Grey had {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for top set. And the third player had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for top two and a straight draw.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, giving Vizza the straight. The {5-Clubs} on the river didn't change things, and Vizza had eliminated two players.

On the very next hand, Vizza bet 9,000 on a flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Andy Black raised pot, Vizza reraised pot, and Black called with the rest of his chips.

Both had flopped straights. Black had {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and Vizza {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, but the {A-Spades} on the river gave Vizza a better straight, and Black was out.

Vizza -- clearly the new chip leader -- is still stacking all of those chips. We'll get you a count as soon as he finishes.
