Nerenberg Nails Turn and River to Bust Gryko

Christian Zetzsche

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gregory Nerenberg arrived at his new table and didn't unrack his chips yet before he was involved in another all-in showdown.

On a flop of 10♦3♠2♣, Richard Gryko was all-in with the 5♥4♠3♦3♥ for the middle set and a straight draw.

"What you have, a set of treys? Sh*t," Nerenberg said. He then started cheering for spades on the J♠ turn.

"Wouldn't that be bad if I hit spades?" Nerenberg groaned and indeed hit the 5♠ on the river.

While Gryko was on the way out of the tournament area and to the payout desk, Nerenberg added "he is so mad ... what an idiot, middle set."

Also no longer in contention is Christopher Frank, as the field rapidly shrinks after the bubble had burst at the start of this level.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of A♠5♦7♠, Dylan Weisman moved all in to cover the shorter-stacked Daniel Barriocanal.

Barriocanal went into the tank for a bit before he finally moved all in to put himself at risk.

Daniel Barriocanal: A♣J♥10♣7♥
Dylan Weisman: K♦7♦7♣3♥

Barriocanal had flopped top two-pair, but unfortunately for him, Weisman had flopped a set of sevens. The board ran out 10♦9♠ and was no help to Barriocanal and he was sent to the rail while Weisman increased his stack to 3,750,000.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The chips went flying on the K♥J♠6♠7♦ turn when Dylan Weisman ended up all-in and at risk for 1,200,000, and he was looked up by Gregory Nerenberg with the superior stack.

Dylan Weisman: A♣K♠Q♣7♠
Gregory Nerenberg: 8♥5♦4♥3♥

The wrap of Nerenberg missed with the J♣ river completed the board and Firas Kashat then joked to Weisman "you hit the lotto, you know what that means?"

Kashat had even more words to share, this time for table neighbour Nerenberg. "Somebody was gonna get the fish ... you are the fish," he said straight to the face of Kashat.

No reply followed and the next hand unfolded.

Jordan Spurlin was eliminated on table 114 when Hani Mio flopped a straight and rivered a full house.

Shortly after, John Hennigan was all-in with the A♣A♠7♠6x and Andriy Lyubovetskiy turned a third club with the Q♣J♣10♦3♦ to reduce the field further.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Bryce Yockey opened to 110,000 from the button and Andjelko Andrejevic immediately three-bet to 355,000 from the small blind. The action folded back around to Yockey who made the call and the two went to a flop of A♥6♦9♠.

Andrejevic led out for 100,000 and Yockey went deep into the tank as he only had 250,000 left in his stack.

After burning three time banks, he finally decided to let it go and the pot was awarded to Andrejevic.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gregory Nerenberg and Firas Kashat apparently agreed to a deal that both take sips from their beverages at the same time and they were also involved in a three-way single-raised pot with Dylan Weisman. They checked all the way to the Q♠10♦5♦Q♣6♣ river with Weisman checking first.

"I win," Weisman declared and Nerenberg inquired "how do you know?"

Weisman revealed the K♣10♠10♥Xx for tens full of queens and that was indeed a winner.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

In the first hand of the new level, Quan Zhou raised to 65,000 in the hijack. Danny Hannawa jammed for 210,000 in the cutoff and Zhou called after brief consideration as both players already revealed their cards, then turned them over again until all other tables were completed.

Danny Hannawa: Q♦Q♣8♣8♠
Quan Zhou: 9♥5♦3♥2♥

The K♠J♣3♣ flop gave Hannawa a flush draw while Zhou had the bottom pair. Two black cards followed with the 9♠ turn and 2♠ river to give Zhou two pair and let the bubble burst.
