Gruissem Doubles Farrell; Then Doubles Himself

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

Philip Gruissem haven't had the best of days at this High Roller tournament, and just a minute ago he was crippled in a pot against Niall Farrell.

The two of them got it all in preflop in a good, old-fashioned setup, Gruissem with {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} from the small blind and Farrell with {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} from the big blind.

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and that left Gruissem with just 6,000 chips, while Farrell was back up to 44,000.

Gruissem didn't hesitate putting the 12 big blinds in the very next hand, and got a call by Simon Mattsson from the big blind.

Philipp Gruissem: {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Simon Mattsson: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Board ran out {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, and secured Gruissem a much needed double to 13,000.

"Yes, my first pot of the day", celebrated a disheartened Gruissem, before stacking his modest stack.
