The Rich Get Richer

On a flop of {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, chip leader Khoa Nguyen checked from the under-the-gun position and allowed Philipp Gruissem to bet 250,000 from the cutoff. Nguyen made the call and then turned around and led out for 375,000 when the {9-Diamonds} hit fourth street. This time is was Gruissem who called, which led to both players checking the {9-Hearts} river.

Gruissem showed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for ace-king high, but it was no good against Nguyen's {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.
