Hand #10 - Elliot Smith and Zach Gruneberg

Elliot Smith
Elliot Smith
Stewart Scott has the button in Seat 5. Zach Gruneberg makes the opening raise to 60,000. Elliot Smith calls in position. Everyone else passes, bringing us to our second flop. It comes out {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Gruneberg is first to act and wastes no time in betting 70,000. Smith is still as stone for thirty seconds, then grabs eight chocolate (25,000) chips and puts them in the middle -- a raise to 200,000. Gruneberg quickly calls. A big pot is developing.

The turn pairs the board, falling {A-Spades}. Gruneberg checks quickly to Smith. It takes Smith thirty seconds to grab ten chocolate chips and bet 250,000. Gruneberg quickly calls. The pot is now huge, with more than a million chips in it!

The river is the {10-Spades}, double-pairing the board. We may be heading for a chopped pot. Gruneberg quickly moves all in and Smith calls. Gruneberg shows {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}; he rivered a chop out of Smith, who shows {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. It is indeed a chopped pot. Gruneberg got off lucky there.
