Good News and Bad News For Getzwiller

The player under-the-gun limped in, as did Gavin Griffin next to act. The player in middle position moved all in for 18,000 and action folded to Sean Getzwiller in the small blind. He moved all in behind forcing the action back on the two limpers. The first, which had a smaller stack than Getzwiller, tank-folded which was followed by a quick muck by Griffin.

Getzwiller: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The player who had limped under-the-gun immediately got angry at himself, claiming later to have folded Jacks. His mood lightened though when the dealer spread out the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and the river was the {6-Clubs}.

The bad news for Getzwiller (and Griffin for that matter) was that the open 7 seat, just two to Getzwiller's left, was filled by Dan O'Brien while that hand was taking place. Now three of the most notable and proven professionals remaining in the tournament are seated within five seats of each other.
