After a player opened for 450, Jeff Gross three-bet jammed for 1,725 more. His opponent made the call and it was another race situation.

Opponent:
Gross didn't have to sweat long as the flop gave him a hammerlock on the hand. The was run out on the turn followed by the on the river, and Gross raked in the much-needed double.
We missed the elimination of Jan Suchanek, but we do know it was at the hands of Andrew Smith.
Apparently Smith had turned two pair with and put out a bet. Suchanek, who held , raised and then called off when Smith three-bet jammed. The river was a blank, and Smith added Suchanek's $500 Terminator chip to his stack.
"He just had the nuts," Jeff Gross told us just after he'd been eliminated. He then said his opponent held on a board reading . It wasn't quite the nuts, but we think you get the point.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Little was eliminated from the tournament. We missed the hand, but his swan song was discovered on Twitter:
In a three-bet preflop pot, Scott Davies got his stack all in on a flop holding a flush draw with the . He needed to hit either that or an ace to stay alive as his opponent held an overpair with the . That proved easier said than done as both the turn and river bricked to send Davies out the door short of the dinner break.
Action folded to Fred Alam on the button and he splashed in his stack of 2,575. Vanessa Rousso then three-bet from the small blind, which inspired the player in the big to fold.
Rousso:
Alam:
Both players shared a five, but Alam's kicker made him the big favorite. The flop failed to improve either player, while the turn gave Rousso a gutshot straight draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Alam didn't need it, but he paired his queen and was shipped the double.
After the player on the button moved all in for 2,150 from the button, a short-stacked Antonio Esfandiari called from the big blind.
Esfandiari:
Button:
Esfandiari's kicker issues failed to get resolved as the board ran out and he was left with just 450 after the hand.
In the very next hand, the player in the cutoff limped and Colm Galloway raised to 475 from the button. Esfandiari called off, the big blind called, and the limper came along as well.
"It'll take a miracle to win this one," Esfandiari said as he stood from his chair. Two checks on the flop saw Galloway bet 1,100, and the other two players folded.
Galloway:
Esfandiari:
Esfandiari was thrilled to see he was drawing as good as he was, but it was all for naught as the blanked on the turn followed by the river. Esfandiari sent his Terminator chip over to Galloway, but he had one other from an earlier knock out, meaning he'll get $500 back.
Level 6 has come to an end, and that means it's time for the one-hour dinner break. When they return, the remaining players will play four more levels before bagging and tagging for the night.
