I Can Feel It Coming in the Air Tonight

Eric Baldwin raised to 800 from early position, then Phil Collins reraised to 2,300 from middle position. Kurt Gronbech called from the big blind, and Baldwin called as well.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Gronbech and Baldwin both checked. Collins went into the tank for a couple of minutes, then finally pushed all in.

Gronbech asked how much. "Fourteen plus the green," said the dealer, indicating Collins was in for 14,000 plus his 25-denomination green chips. Gronbech brooded for about thirty seconds, then sensed something that encouraged him to make the call.

Gronbech: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Collins: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river {6-Hearts}, and Collins is out. Gronbech now has 56,000.
