Gerassi Ships the Nuts

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
David Gerassi can't seem to be stopped.
David Gerassi can't seem to be stopped.

David Gerassi, who entered the day as the chip leader, has continued his winning ways. In a recent hand, he put an opponent all in with the board reading {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. The player tanked for a couple of minutes before calling off.

Gerassi: {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Gerassi had turned the nuts, but his opponent had outs. A {2-Hearts} river was a brick, and Gerassi let out a yell of "YES!"

Joseph Mckeehen called three streets.
Joseph Mckeehen called three streets.

Joe Mckeehen checked and called a bet on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, and he and his opponent saw a turn of {5-Hearts}. Mckeehen again checked, and this time he called a bet of 34,000. When a {q-Hearts} river caused Mckeehen to check a final time, his opponent fired the third bullet, 55,000. Mckeehen thought for a bit before making the call, and he took down the pot with {6-}{7-}.

Dentale Jams for Value

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We found Mike Dentale putting an opponent all in for his last 100,000 or so on a {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades} board. The player counted out his chips and thought for a bit before making the call. Dentale showed him {9-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a straight, and the player mucked his cards.

Also, it appears someone finished off Dan Heimiller, as his seat's now empty.
