Big Hands and Storylines:
Hold’em
Gracz Busts Raymer
Greg Raymer, on a short stack, gets all his chips in against Michael Gracz on a J
7
3
K
9 board. Raymer seemed optimistic about his pair of jacks but was met with bad news when Gracz revealed KK for a set of kings. The newly busted Raymer let everyone know his thoughts about the game that ousted him, shouting, “Limit poker sucks!” Michael Gracz, now with 17,000 chips, might disagree.
Omaha/8b
Glantz Doubles Up
On a board of QT7K3, Matthew Glantz gets it all in against his opponent. Glantz happily tables AJ52 and takes down the whole pot with the broadway straight. Despite this pot, Glantz still has a lot of work to do with only 13,000 chips.
Stud/8b
Aces-Up Propel Luske
Marcell Luske has an opponent all in after 3rd street and the two reveal their cards:
Luske: (AA)2
Opponent: (QQ)2
Luske’s next card was the 2 and his two-pair would go on to claim the pot. Despite sitting at a table with Todd Brunson and Kevin Saul, Luske has managed to work his way to 37,000 in chips.
