Gruissem Busts to Laidlaw

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The day of Daniel Laidlaw is getting better and better, as the Australian had even more chips while Philipp Gruissem just grabbed his belongings and left the tournament area. Laidlaw was kind enough to explain what happened, and Ryan Yu one seat over confirmed this as well.

Gruissem was down to around 21,000 when the hand started and raised to 1,000 on the button, while Laidlaw three-bet to 3,200 in the small blijnd. Gruissem called and the flop fell {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Gruissem called a bet worth 3,600 by Laidlaw before the latter then shoved the {3-} turn for effectively 15,000. Gruissem called with {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for second pair and the nut flush draw, while Laidlaw was ahead with {A-}{K-}. The river was another six and that shipped the pot to Laidlaw.
