Grise and Frey Sent to the Rail
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Benjamin Grise was down to around 15 big blinds and got the last of his chips in the middle against Richard Ryder. Grise was holding the best hand and in a dominating position.
Benjamin Grise: A♠K♦
Richard Ryder: A♦Q♦
The flop fell A♣Q♣6♣ and Ryder picked up two pair to take the lead. The J♥ on the turn gave Grise a straight draw as he pleaded for his outs. The 4♦ peeled off on the river, which was no help and Grise was eliminated.
Across the room, Hunter Frey was seen standing up from his chair and his chips were being pushed to his neighbor Juan Maceiras Lapido. An ace-high board was spread across the felt with Lapido holding A♦9♥ to claim the victory.
