Glantz Spins the Wheel
Matt Glantz limped, and after checking to see how much he had behind, Di Dang raised to 7,500 on the button. In the big blind, Franklin Grigsby clicked the "pot" button, making it a total of 27,000 to see a flop. Glantz looked tortured for a minute but decided to call, leaving himself 30,500 behind. Dang flatted as well.
"Spin the wheel," Glantz said.
The flop came , and Grigsby moved all in. Glantz pushed his whole stack across the line, and Dang, who had them both well covered, announced a call. Three-way showdown time.
Glantz: for the flopped nine-high straight and nine-high flush draw (nice spin!)
Grigsby: for bottom pair, a gutshot, and a backdoor flush draw
Dang: for the flopped nut straight
Grigsby was drawing thin, and Glantz, whose nine-high flush draw was live, needed to hit a diamond to best Dang's higher straight. The on the turn didn't help him, but the on the river was enough to secure a triple up for Glantz. Grigsby was eliminated in the conflagration, while Glantz was given new life with 173,000. Dang took a hit but got about 15,000 out of the side pot and still has a substantial 247,000.
