Philipp Gruissem; Chip Leader

Level 2 : 150/300, 300 ante

Manfred Frerichs had just taken a decent pot from Matthias de Meulder who folded on the river to some aggressive play from Frerichs. Confidence and chip stack on the up Frerichs decided to limp the next hand.

“Call? Are you sure?” Philipp Gruissem asked him before bumping it up to 1,200 from the button. The player in the big blind called and Frerichs put in the extra calling chips to see a three-way flop of {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Frerichs was the player who seized the betting lead with 3,000 chip tossed in the middle. Gruissem called the bet and the big blind let it go.

The turn card was the {q-Diamonds} and a further bet of 6,500 from Frerichs was followed by a raise to 25,000 from Gruissem. Frerichs called.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and Frerichs moved all in. Gruissem took a moment to asses before he called and must have been mightily relieved to hear “Schizer,” coming from Frerichs who tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Spades} for the flopped straight draw that came to naught.

Gruissem tabled {7-Spades}{6-Hearts} for trips and declared aloud, “Chip leader.”
