Gruissem and Benitez Jam

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot and the board reading {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Martin Jacobson bet 25,000 from the cutoff and Philipp Gruissem then moved all in from the button. Jacobson didn't ask for a count, as he folded rather quickly.

JC Alvarado opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Francisco Benitez three-bet to 19,000 from the button. Sylvain Loosli asked to see the stack of Benitez and then four-bet to 48,000 in the big blind. Alvarado quickly folded, but Benitez moved all in to force a quick fold from Loosli.

Gerard Piqué
Gerard Piqué

Anthony Zinno was already standing up to make his exit at the moment we arrived. According to Chance Kornuth both Zinno and Pique got their chips in the middle before the flop. Zinno had {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} but was trailing the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} of Pique. The board ran out {10-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} and Zinno made his exit.

Martin Finger has also made his exit, the defending champion still has the option to reenter if he wishes so.
