Big Hands:
Gregorich Takes a Pot
Mark Gregorich raised before the flop to 1,800. Craig Marquis made the call and the flop came A
K2
. Both players checked and the turn came with the 6
. Gregorich bet 2,500 and Marquis mucked. After the hand, Gregorich was at around 24,000.
Out of the Muck and Onto the Rail
The floor was called after Mark Radoja moved all in. Apparently, his cards were inserted into the muck by the dealer. After a brief account of what happened, the floorman retrieved Radoja's A5 from the muck. Joseph Bolnick had already called before the episode and tabled 88. The flop was almost fatal for Radoja as it came 9
87, giving Bolnick a set. But there was a glimmer of hope as Radoja had a gutshot straight draw. But the turn was the 3 and the Q on the river sealed his fate and he was out.
Okun Crippled, Then Ousted
Jared Michael Okun showed pocket jacks after the board had run out 103625. He was dismayed to find that they were no good when John McKinney tabled 44 for a straight on the river. Okun was down to just 300 and was eliminated on the very next hand.
