Grippo Bluffs but Retains Lead

Facing a button raise to 1,600, Nicholas Grippo made the call to see a {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop fall. Grippo check-called a 2,200-chip bet before both players tapped the table when the {9-Spades} landed on the turn.

When the river landed the {J-Spades}, Grippo led for 4,800 with his opponent making the call tabling his {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Grippo mucked his hand and slipped to 75,000 - which currently is the chip lead.
