Matt Grapenthien: {X-}{X-} / {7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} / {X-}
Todd Brunson: {X-}{X-} / {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} / {X-}

Grapenthien brought in on third, Brunson completed, Grapenthien raised, and then Brunson reraised. Grapenthien called, and the two of them went off to fourth street.

On fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh streets, Brunson bet. Each time, Grapenthien made the call. At the showdown, though, he saw the bad news.

Brunson tabled the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair, aces and fives. Grapenthien mucked and slipped to under one million in chips.

Ben Yu: {x-}{x-} / {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} / {x-}
Matt Grapenthien: {x-}{x-} / {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {x-}

Grapenthien brought it in, Yu completed, and Grapenthien made it three bets. Yu called.

Yu led out on fourth street, Grapenthien raised, and Yu committed the remainder of his stack.

Yu: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Grapenthien: {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}

Both players had a pair, but Yu's cowboys were superior to Grapenthien's tres.

"My intention is to double up!" Yu shouted to his rail, prompting his friends to laugh.

Both players were dealt a deuce on fifth street, and sixth missed both players as well, but Grapenthien made two pair with the {9-Clubs} on seventh. Yu revealed a meaningless {10-Clubs}, and was eliminated.

Yu said his goodbyes to the table and wished them luck, then once again turned to his rail.

"See!" he shouted. "Choice Center is a scam! It doesn't work!"
