Great hand between Alfonso Creighton, left, and Nathan Grow.

Creighton opened and was three bet from the button by Grow. The went check check, but on the Grow found a delayed continuation bet on what could very well be a blank for his range Creighton eventually called but then had to face about 55,000 on the end when Grow shoved the , another card unlikely to help anyone.

A tough spot, getting three to one and a big stacks at play. Creighton took several minutes and folded. Grow flashed an unlikely card – a . Had he hit a set or simply turned a light 3 bet into a river bluff?

Both are at 200,000 at present and healthy.

Ralph Macri has since shot into the chip lead, surpassing Hinklen on his left, and Dennis Bacon.

Ralph explained his philosophy after some young punk tried to bluff him the other night at 1/2. “I’m over forty, I don’t fold. The further I have to drive here, the less I fold.”

Meanwhile, Bacon has scored again, and is up to 500,000.

Off to dinner break in a few minutes. Return at 9 PM.
