Gruissem’s Cat. Call or Fold.

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The flop was {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} and small blind Philipp Gruissem checked it over to Chis Da Silva who bet 2,500. Gruissem called and they both checked the turn {4-Clubs}.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and a check from Gruissem saw Da Silva take his time before betting a chunky 11,000. Off came the headphones and Gruissem was left scratching his head, vocally wondering if Da Silva could have Jacks? There was a bit of back and forth between the two players before Gruissem called.

Da Silva was bluffing with {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and as most of the table had guessed Gruissem showed {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}. Da Silva argued that it was a snap call but Gruissem disagreed. There followed a brief, slightly heated, discussion on the nature of reality and perception but no firm conclusions were agreed upon.
