Grimes Blasts the River
Level 13
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Three players saw a 
flop for what looked like a min-raise. Action checked to the cutoff, who bet just 3,000. Both Jeff Grimes in the big blind and the player under the gun called. On the 
turn, the cutoff bet 5,000 and they all went to a 
river.
This time, Grimes led out pretty big with 20,000, and that induced and insta-fold and then a slightly slower fold.
