Pinho Busts Gruissem
From middle position Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho raised it up to 2,500. Behind him it was German super star Philipp Gruissem making the three bet to 5,600. Action folded back to Pinho who inquired how high Gruissem's stacks were. Gruissem told his Portuguese opponent he had about 40,000 behind and Pinho made the call.
Pinho checked to Gruissem who checked behind. There would be action on the 
though. Pinho bet out 5,100 and Gruissem made the call.
The 
fell on the river and Pinho bet out 17,000. Gruissem thought for a little bit and announced he was all in. As fast as Pinho called, Gruissem might already have expected his 
was not the best hand anymore. Pinho indeed showed a better hand as he was the proud owner of 
for the rivered straight.
"All right, good luck guys" said Gruissem as he got up from the table, grabbed his characteristic leather jacker and made his way to the exit.
