Mike Gracz Out in 11th Place ($29,668)

Nov 10, 2014

Mike Gracz limps into the pot from the cutoff, Ryan Van Sanford completes from the small blind, and Jared Reinstein checks to take a free flop from the big.

It comes [8c5s2d], and Van Sanford leads out for 25,000. Both opponents call. The turn brings the [Td]. Van Sanford fires another 95,000, Reinstein calls, and Gracz moves all in for 462,000. Van Sanford asks for the count, then re-shoves over the top, isolating himself against the at-risk Gracz.

Van Sanford turns up [8d8h]. "I’m drawing dead," Gracz says with a shake of his head. He tables [QhTs], and he is indeed unable to win the pot. The river is a meaningless [Td], and Gracz, the last remaining WPT Champion, is out in 11th place.
