Matt Grapenthien: XxXx/7♥2♠2♥Q♣/Xx
Nick Schulman: XxXx/9♦10♣A♠3♦/Xx
Juha Helppi: XxXx/Q♥8♣6♥3♠/Xx
Vasili Lazarou: XxXx/10♥9♥5♠ - folded on fifth street
Yaniv Birman: XxXx/4♥10♠6♦ - folded on fifth street
Vasili Lazarou completed and Nick Schulman called before Matt Grapenthien raised. Juha Helppi and Yaniv Birman called, as did Lazarou and Schulman.
Helppi bet on fourth street and all four opponents called. Grapenthien opened the betting on fifth, Helppi raised, and Birman and Lazarou folded. Schulman called, but Grapenthien then reraised as both remaining opponents called.
Grapenthien and Schulman got the rest of their chips in on sixth as Helppi called to put both of them at risk. Schulman turned over A♦J♦ for a pair of aces, while Helppi showed Q♦J♥8♦ for two pair. Grapenthien had K♠K♥4♠ for kings and deuces as he took the pot to more than triple up, while Schulman was eliminated.
