Kevin Garosshen

Kevin Garosshen began this level with 5.2 million in chips (87 big blinds), but it went all downhill from there.

First, Jon Borenstein doubled thru him when his KdQd flopped a king against Garosshen’s 6h6c, all in preflop.

Then T.K. Miles shoved the turn with a gutshot straight-flush draw, and Garosshen called with a set of jacks. A ten on the river gave Miles a jack-high straight to win the pot and double thru Garosshen.

Then Garosshen was racing with 8s8d against Altman’s AcKd, and an ace on the river gave Altman the double up.

Finally, Garosshen got it all in against Altman again, but this time Garosshen’s 8h8c was dominated by Altman’s QdQc, and he never improved.
