It didn't look that way at first, as a {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

flop seems fairly innocuous. The fireworks started when one player moved in for his last 23,500 and Evan McNiff raised to 75,000. A raise that Serge Grenier then called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and Grenier moved in for his last 22,600. McNiff called and when the hands were turned over Grenier's {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

had McNiff's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

drawing dead and the other player's {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

dead to the case deuce. Which didn't come, as the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

fell on the river. Grenier is now up to 162,700, McNiff slipped to 81,600, and the third player was knocked out.
