During a round of hold’em, after a flop of KdJh10s, both blinds checked, and Joey Gargiulo bet 10,000 from under the gun. Chris Tryba quickly check-raised from the small blind to 20,000, and Steve Bell folded in the big blind.

The turn card was the 7d, Tryba bet 20,000, and Gargiulo thought for a bit before moving all in for a little less than 40,000.

Tryba quickly called with Jc10c for two pair, jacks and tens, and Gargiulo turned over Kc4c for a pair of kings. Gargiulo needed a king or a four on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 9d, and Tryba won the pot with his two pair to eliminate Gargiulo in eighth place.

Chris Tryba  –  360,000  (18 BB)

With seven players remaining from a field of 78, the average chip stack is around 167,000 (8 Big Bets). The next player to be eliminated will earn $1,845.
