Kind of a Gross Way to Go...

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Corey Quinonez raised to 15,000 from the hijack and Steven Gross re-raised enough to put Quinonez all in. Quinonez called and the cards were revealed.

Quinonez: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Gross: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

There was an audible gasp from the table and the rail when the flop came {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} giving Gross a set of eights to put him in the lead. The turn and river were the {6-Hearts} and {4-Diamonds} which were of no help to Quinonez and he was eliminated.

After the hand Gross' stack increased to 345,000.
