Jorstad Eliminated, Grech Makes a Good Fold
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Zachary Grech opened the button to 10,000 and Espen Jorstad shoved from the small blind for 22,000. Pedro Padilha called out of the big blind, and Grech put in the extra 12,000 chips.
On the 5?J?K? flop, both players checked to the 2? turn. Padilha led out for 42,000, and Grech thought for a long time before he folded.
Espen Jorstad: 8?8? 
Pedro Padilha: A?A?
Grech started giving himself a pat on the back as he stated that he folded a king. Jorstad needed to find one of the two remaining snowmen in the deck but instead the K? landed on the river, which meant he was elimimated.
"I would have made a butt call and got there," said Grech after seeing the river, which would have improved him to trips.
