Feb 08, '15
With hand-for-hand play going on for more than an hour now, it looked as though we were about to get to the money. That is, until Anthony DeStefano spiked a two-outer on the river to double.
DeStefano was all-in for his last 50,000 with pocket tens and David Grandieri called with pocket kings. The board ran out 7×7×5×7×10x to give DeStefano the pot.

David Grandieri Makes A Big Call Down
Feb 08, '15
With a flop of Q
85
David Grandieri checked and Sharman Olshan bet 25,000. Grandieri then raised to 60,000 total, only to have Olshan make it 110,000 to go.
Grandieri made the call and the 7
hit the turn. He then check-called a 70,000 chip bet from Olshan.
The river completed the board with the J
. Grandieri checked again and Olshan took a look at his stack (he had around 100,000 or so left at a glance.)
She then slid out another 70,000 bet. After some time in the tank he dropped in a pile of chips to signal a call and Olshan was only able to turn over the A10 for ace high.
Grandieri held the A5 for bottom pair and a missed flush draw, but that was enough to secure the huge pot. He now sits with 535,000 in chips while she fell to 195,000.

PJ Caruso Wins Massive Pot
Feb 09, '15
PJ Caruso greatly improved his chip stack in a massive hand with David Grandieri and Sharman Olshan.
Caruso raised to 90,000 from under the gun and Olshan three-bet to 200,000 from +1. Grandieri moved all-in for well over one million – easily covering both players.
Caruso then moved all-in for 281,000 and Olshan moved all-in as well, but for more than Caruso.
Olshan and Grandieri both tabled pocket queens and Caruso showed KJ.
“One time,” Caruso said as the dealer prepared to fan the cards.
Caruso indeed got his ‘one time’ when the K fell on the flop, along with the 4 and the 3. The board completed 310 and Caruso picked up a massive number of chips. However, there was a smaller side pot that was split between Grandieri and Olshan.

Jason Calnan Eliminated 11th ($6,564)
Feb 09, '15
Jason Calnan moved all-in for his last 180,00 from under the gun and David Grandieri and Frank Sgambato snap-called from the button and the small blind.
“This is my favorite hand,” Calnan said.
The flop was Q44 and Sgambato announced he was all-in for about 300,000.
“You want a count?” Sgambato asked Grandieri.
“It’s irrelavant,” Grandieri said.
Grandieri folded AQ face up and the remaining two hands were tabled. Calnan showed 88 and was behind against Sgambato’s KK. The board completed 103 and with Calnan’s elimination, the final 10 players were moved the a single table.
