Scott Lake: XxXx/6x9x6x4x/Xx
"I haven't won one hand this level," Naoya Kihara said, pointing up the clock which went down below 10 minutes left on this level.
"That's no fun," Michael McKenna replied.
Kihara was a mere spectator on this hand, as Matt Grapenthien and Scott Lake went heads-up to fourth street. Grapenthien then bet and Lake called.
Grapenthien continued betting on fifth and sixth streets as Lake called him down. Grapenthien bet again on seventh, representing most of his remaining stack, and Lake called.
Grapenthien showed Jx5x4x for 8-6-5-4-A and Lake mucked, leaving himself on a short stack.
