Griboski Saves His Tournament Life
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jason Welch raised to 3,100 under the gun and received calls from Dan Mingus in the cutoff, Sherman Wu in the small blind, and Vincent Griboski in the big blind. All four players checked .
The turn came and Wu checked again. Griboski bet 9,000 and Welch called, with Mingus and Wu folding behind to take action to the river . Griboski checked and Welch bet 8,000, which Griboski called.
Welch showed for the rivered full house, with Griboski showing a second-best flopped flush .
"You probably weren't going anywhere, were you?" asked Griboski after the hand. Welch confirmed he was not after having flopped the set.
"So I probably saved my tournament life playing it that way," Griboski added.
