Gruneberg Puts Bach on Life Support

[user67765]

Bruno Portaro had limped in from under the gun before Zach Gruneberg made it 8,000 to go. David Bach called in the big blind as did Portaro.

The {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

flop was checked to Gruneberg, who fired out a bet of 4,000. Bach then check-raised to 8,000 with both opponents making the call.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

and Bach led out for 8,000. Portaro folded and Gruneberg called. The river was the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

. Bach slowed down and checked to Gruneberg, who made the 8,000 bet. Bach called, but couldn't better Gruneberg's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

for the rivered straight.

Gruneberg is now up to 180,000. Bach is on life support with only 6,000 chips.
