Hands #53-54: Edward Gray Eliminated in 8th Place ($33,581)

Hand #53  –  Byron Kaverman min-raises under the gun to 80,000, Hans Winzeler calls from late position, and Lee Markholt calls from the big blind. The flop comes [9d5s3d], and it checks to Winzeler, who bets 110,000. Markholt and Kaverman both fold, and Winzeler takes the pot.

Hand #54  –  Ryan Hartmann raises under the gun to 110,000, Edward Gray moves all in from the button, and Hartmann calls with [KcKh]. Gray turns over 8-8, and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [Jc10d7c3s2c], and the pocket kings hold up for Hartmann to win the pot and eliminate Gray in eighth place.

Ryan Hartmann  –  1,600,000  (40 bb)
Edward Gray  –  Out in 8th Place ($33,581)
