Loeser Wins a Significant Pot; Huang Takes From Grieco
Blind-on-blind, Manig Loeser raised with the 
and Ryan Riess came along with the 
. The 
flop brought a bet of 220,000 by Loeser and a call by Riess. The 
turn was checked by both players and the 
river completed the board.
With 1,380,000 in the middle, Loeser let his shot clock run down to five seconds and made it 300,000 to go. Riess contemplated his move and used one time bank extension. A reluctant call followed and Loeser closed in on 10 million in chips.
Nicola Grieco opened to 250,000 with 
and Wei Huang called with the 
to see the 
flop. Both players checked and Huang checked the turn, Grieco bet 200,000 and picked up a call.
On the 
river, Huang checked once more and Grieco checked back to see Huang win the last hand of the level. Right after, the final five players headed into a 20-minute break.
