. With their stacks nearly even, Pascal raised to 1,000,000 from the button and Roy re-raised to 2,400,000. Pascal moved all-in and Roy called. The board ran out K
77QJ and nearly all the chips were moved to Roy's end of the table. 3. Roy had KJ and the board ran out KJ4Q9 to end the night.J against Gross's A10 and stayed ahead after a flop of 754.

But an Ace, the A, was turned over on the river to give Gross the best hand and send Kaemmerlen away. 6. Roy called from the big blind with two black Queens. The dealer spread KK4A7 and Roy's Queens held to eliminate Siebert. 5 and Roy called from the big blind with K7. The board is dealt 88273 pairs Roy's seven on the turn to end Smith's tournament.

Level 36: 200,000-400,000, 50,000 ante
Jeff Gross moves all in from the button for 2,475,000, and Jonathan Roy calls from the small blind with AQ. Gross turns over KQ, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.
The board comes A662K, and Jonathan Roy wins the pot with two pair, aces and sixes, to eliminate Jeff Gross in third place.
Jonathan Roy - 19,175,000 (47 bb)
Jeff Gross - Out in 3rd Place ($317,450)
Level 36: 200,000-400,000, 50,000 ante
Jeff Gross moves all in blind from the button for 775,000, Jonathan Roy calls from the small blind, and Pascal Lefrancois calls from the big blind.
The board comes A4269, and Roy shows 84 for a pair of fours. Lefrancois turns over 93 for a pair of nines.
Gross reminds the other players that he hasn't looked over his cards, and he slowly reveals A5 -- a pair of aces to win the pot and triple up in chips.
Seat 1. Jonathan Roy - 20,800,000 (52 bb)
Seat 2. Pascal Lefrancois - 11,900,000 (29 bb)
Seat 3. Jeff Gross - 2,425,000 (6 bb)
Level 36: 200,000-400,000, 50,000 ante
Pascal Lefrancois moves all in from the button, and Jeff Gross calls from the small blind with 44. Lefrancois turns over K10, and it's a race situation.
The flop comes J84, and Gross takes a big lead with a set of fours.
The turn card is the Q, and Lefrancois picks up both a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw.
The river card is the A, and Pascal Lefrancois wins the pot with a heart flush to double up in chips and cripple Jeff Gross.
Pascal Lefrancois - 12,800,000 (32 bb)
Jeff Gross - 825,000 (2 bb)
Level 35: 150,000-300,000, 50,000 ante
Pascal Lefrancois min-raises from the small blind to 600,000, and Jeff Gross calls from the big blind.
The flop comes QQ7, Lefrancois moves all in, and Gross snap-calls with 66. Lefrancois turns over 33, and it's pocket pair-vs.-pocket pair, with Gross on top.
The turn is the 5, and the river double-pairs the board with the 7. It takes a moment for Gross to realize that he won the pot even though his pair was counterfeited -- one of his sixes plays as his kicker to win the pot.
As the dealer pushes the pot to Gross, Antonio Esfandiari yells from the rail, "You just won a pot with six high kid. That's strong!"
Level 32: 75,000-150,000, 25,000 ante

The board comes J764A, and Gavin Smith wins the pot with a pair of jacks to double up in chips.
Gavin Smith - 3,100,000 (20 bb)

The board comes 7549A, and Gross spikes an ace on the river to win the pot and eliminate Peter Kaemmerlen in sixth place.
Jeff Gross - 11,200,000
Peter Kaemmerlen - Out in 6th Place ($113,155)

Hometown:
Jeff Gross has taken a very interesting path to his first World Poker Tour final table. Gross attended the very first WPT Boot Camp and now he is among the final six in a field of 1,173 players. He has one previous cash on the tour, and that came at the Borgata Poker Open during Season IX. His largest cash was a second-place finish in a no-limit hold’em shootout event at the World Series of Poker in 2011. Gross recently cashed in the WSOP Main Event, taking 223rd place in a field of 6,598 players.
Antonio Esfandiari said of Gross earlier in the tournament, "This guy is the best professional best friend in the business." Esfandiari is among the friends sweating Gross at the final table today, as is Michael Phelps, who will be fulfilling best friend duties for Gross.
