Grieco Scoops Big Pot
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Thomas Santerne raised to 50,000 from under the gun and was called by Jamie Flynn in the hijack and Nicola Grieco in the big blind.
On the 5♦4♠6♦ board, Santerne bet 90,000 after Grieco checked. Flynn called, and Grieco quickly followed suit.
All players checked through the 6♥ turn.
Grieco bet 105,000 on the J♥ river, prompting Santerne to raise to 750,000. With two players already in the pot, Flynn decided to fold after some thought. Grieco snap-called again and immediately revealed 5♠5♥ for a full house.
"Why doesn't he show?" Grieco asked the dealer after Santerne mucked his cards. "Because he wasn't all in," came the response. But Grieco had already shifted his focus to stacking chips.
