Gross Loses Flip, Then Wins Flip

Level 66 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

The last two hands in the Jeffrey Gross vs. Brian Hastings match have been quite eventful.

First, down to about 120,000 on his first lammer, Gross called all in from the big when Hastings shoved on the button with the bigger stack. Hastings held {7-}{7-} against Gross' {K-}{Q-} and a when a {7-} hit the flop, Gross was unable to catch up.

He decided to use both of his lammers, reloading to 640,000. From there he proceeded to get it in on the following hand with {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} against Hastings' {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The board rolled out {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}, safe for Gross to survive and double to 1,280,000 (with no lammers). Hastings, meanwhile, cashed in his second lammer and is back to 320,000 with one lammer behind.
