Gruissem Takes The First One
Level 7
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
German juggernaut Philipp Gruissem just sat down at a table with Mike McDonald, and the two got involved in a pot right away. From early position, McDonald opened to 9,500. Gruissem called in late position, as did both players in the blinds.
All players checked the 
flop and 
turn. On the 
river, McDonald bet 25,000 and only Gruissem called. McDonald tabled 
for a rivered broadway straight, but Gruissem held 
for a full house to scoop up his first pot.
