Rivered Straight; Chop it Up

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Jeffrey Gross opened his button with a raise to 400,000 and Mark Radoja made the call before both players checked the {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Spades} flop as the {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Radoja led out for 400,000 and Gross made the call as the {10-Clubs} spiked on the river. Radoja pushed out 750,000, and after nearly two minutes in the tank, Gross made the call.

Radoja tabled his {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a straight, and when Gross tabled his {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}, the pot was chopped up.

We Are Now Heads Up!

Heads up play has begun between Mark Radoja and Jeffrey Gross and the mood at the main stage is absolutely electric. The players with the two largest, most bombastic cheering sections have made it heads up which has resulted in a pretty extreme mix of chants, stomps, and cries of celebration. Radoja's section is stationed on one side of the bleachers while Gross' section is on the other.

The most creative chant we've heard is most certainly one that started right as we transitioned into heads up play, with Radoja's section singing "My Sharona" by The Knack, only replacing the title of the song with "Mark Ra-do-ja!". The crowd, fueled by passion and alcohol are upping the ante for this heads up match and making the intensity level soar through the roof.
