Peter Griesmann In Tank-Call Drama

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Usually when you are short stacked, your loose-aggressive opponent has put you all-in and you are holding pocket kings you do a fist-pump, make the call and dance around the table in celebration. Not if your name is Peter Griesmann.

Griesmann raised from the cutoff and then got into a battle with Giuseppe Pantaleo who was in the big blind. The end result was Pantaleo putting Griesmann all-in and despite Griesmann being pot committed he went into the tank for in excess of two minutes.

Eventually the clock was called on Griesmann and as the floor supervisors was counting down the last 10 seconds, Griesmann made the call, turned over his cards and made the whole table's jaws drop in astonishment.

Pantaleo: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Griesmann: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and now Griesmann was fist-pumping. His table mates cannot believe he took so long to call and they are almost certainly going to bombard him with multiple bets, three-bets and four-bets to put him under maximum pressure after the break.
