Gross Busts Guilbert in Big Pot
There are several notables on the ten tables outside of the main tournament room and among them was also Johan Guilbert. However, the Frenchman lasted all but the first level when he was eliminated in a big pot against Etai Gross. Furthermore, Carina Wald had also been sent to the rail prior to that, and Gross now sits on more than three times the starting stack.
With 17,000 in the middle and the flop showing 
, Gross checked in the cutoff and Guilbert made it 3,800 to go from the button. Gross raised to 11,000 and Guilbert gave it half a minute before moving all in. Gross was immediately set back and needed some time before asking for a count. The shove was for 33,300 total and Gross indeed called.
Johan Guilbert: 
Etai Gross: 
The 
turn and 
river were blanks and Guilbert was also gone.
"You can easily have kings there too, and aces," Gross said while he was raking in the massive pot.
