Richard Gryko Eliminated in 12th Place ($41,775)
Level 25
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
We're not sure how the money got in, but a flurry of action put Richard Gryko all in for close to a million chips with . Across the table, his fellow Brit, Thomas Middleton was his enemy for this hand, and his was a small favorite to come out on top in this pot worth about twice the average stack.
The flop was good for Gryko, but the turn was much, much better for Middleton. He was in front with one to come, and the river kept him there. With aces up, Middleton takes care of the stack of Richard Gryko, nearly doubling up in the process. Gryko gets a pay bump up over $40,000 for his work here the last three days.
