Mao Unknowingly Eliminates Gryko
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Richard Gryko raised to 18,000 under the gun and Manh Nguyen called in the small blind. Renji Mao then three-bet to 97,000 in the big blind, after which Gryko jammed all in for 110,000.
Nguyen called and so did Mao, leading to a flop of Q♦3♦8♦. Nguyen checked in the dry side pot before Mao bet 100,000 chips. Nguyen quickly folded as Gryko and Mao showed down.
Richard Gryko: A♣J♣10♥8♣ 
Renji Mao: A♥A♦7♥5♦
Gryko was drawing dead after the 4♣ turn and took his leave as the 9♦ river completed the board.
"Oh, that was a flush," Mao exclaimed after the final card was dealt. "I thought I had a flush draw."
