Chris Grigorian - Event #48
Chris Grigorian - Event #48
On a board of {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, Chris Grigorian moved all in for his last 12,700. His opponent, apparently not too confident, kissed his chips goodbye before throwing in the call. The players showed:

Grigorian: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The river came the {3-Hearts} and Grigorian stacked the pot. He is now sitting on just over 42,000 chips.

Great Flop, Amazing Turn for Brogdon

Edward Brogdon
Edward Brogdon
Five players, including J.C. Tran and Edward Brogdon, saw a flop of {8-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {7-Spades}. Action checked around to a player in middle position, and he put out a bet of 3,500. Brogdon called, and everyone else ducked out of the way.

The turn paired the board with the {7-Hearts}. The same player bet out 5,000, and Brogdon came along with a call.

The river came the {3-Diamonds}. This time, Brogdon faced a bet of 7,000. He raised though, moving all in for about 10,000 total. His opponent called him, showing the overpair {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. Brogdon was unimpressed. He tabled {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}, having flopped a set and turned the four of a kind. He takes down a nice pot, more than doubling up to near 40,000.

Clonie Gowan
Clonie Gowan
Clonie Gowen, who has been a chip leader for the majority of the day, continues her reign after eliminating another player from the field.

Joe Tehan was her latest victim. He was all in on a flop of {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {3-Clubs} holding pocket sixes against Clonie's {4-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. The trips held for Clonie and she's now up to 76,000.

At them Hachem

Joe Hachem just made a stand against an opponent and got all his chips in preflop with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and found action from him, holding {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}.

The flop came {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} and Hachem is moving the right way again and is up to 27,000.

Vivek Rajkumar Eliminated

On a flop of {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} Vivek Rajkumar moved all in for 18,000. An early position player called all in for 8,000 and a late position player called as well, having both his opponents covered.

Rajkumar's flush draw with {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} couldn't get there vs. the late position player's set of nines when the turn and river both came sixes and he was eliminated.

'thaboss' Has Left the Building

Jarrad "thaboss" Dale limped in preflop from under the gun with pocket nines. The flop fell 10-10-5 and Dale led out. Curtis Kohlberg raised and Dale reraised. Kohlberg moved all in and Dale, whom he had covered, called.

Dale showed his pocket nines and saw he was up against Kohlberg's 10-9 for flopped trips. Dale failed to improve and was sent to the rail.
