Sheldon Gross (Hillsboro Beach, FL) 

After three players limped to Dominic Piziferri on the button at Table 5, he would three-bet to 7,000.  The blinds then folded, and action was on Sheldon Gross, who had limped UTG.  Gross called the 7,000, and watched as the two other players in the hand released their holdings.  The dealer fanned out a flop of K♣ 8♠ 7♠, with Gross check-calling Piziferri's 10,000 flop bet.  Gross immediately went into action at the 9♣ on the turn, shoving for close to 98,000.  Piziferri would ask for an exact count, but it would only be a few seconds after he got the reply, that he would fold his hand.  Gross chipped up to 143,000 with the pot, and is now one of the larger stacks remaining in the field.

Sheldon Gross - 143,000

Dominic Piziferri - 135,000
