Grenon With Envy

Nathan Doudney was all in for about 60,000 before the flop against Joseph Grenon, and the two men were flipping a coin for a pretty sizable pot.

Grenon's {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} was a slight favorite against Doudney's {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}, and he would hold on a board of {J-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Spades}. That send Doudney out of the tournament, and it chipped Grenon up to... well, up to some number. He didn't have time to stack it, and we didn't have time to count it before he was involved in another pot on the very next hand.

Grenon and Casey Jarzabek took a heads-up flop of {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {8-Spades}. Jarzabek got himself all in with just {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}, and Grenon put him to the test with {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. The turn {5-Hearts} and river {8-Diamonds} didn't change anything, and Grenon has notched back-to-back eliminations on two consecutive hands.

His chip stack has seen the benefits of those knockouts, vaulting him all the way up into second place with 252,000.
