Mark Gruber

Fabian Foster open-shipped for 1,350,000 from under the gun, it folded to Mark Gruber in the small blind, and he called with a similar stack.

Foster: AhKc
Gruber: JdJh

Gruber was ahead in the race and faded the 9s5s5d flop. The Qs turn changed nothing but Foster celebrated the Ac river with his paired ace. They counted down the stacks and Gruber was at risk for 1,325,000 and eliminated in 12th place.
