Wheeler and Grieco Get Into It
Jason Wheeler opened to 35,000 in early position and Nicola Grieco defended out of the big blind.
Grieco checked dark on the K♣3♠6♠ flop and Wheeler continued for 40,000. Grieco called. Grieco checked again on the 10♥ turn and Wheeler checked back.
Grieco led out for a small 25,000 on the 9♦ river and Wheeler raised to 140,000. Grieco called. Wheeler showed just ace-high with A♣J♦ and Grieco happily slammed down 9♣3♣ to take the pot with two pair and began celebrating loudly in Italian.
"Brick river, you go bye-bye," Wheeler said in a fake Italian accent. "Two pair and you're going to talk shit? I'll bust you like I did last year."
"We are even now," said Grieco.
"Except that was a 1.1 million-chip pot," replied Wheeler. "I spanked you like a puppy."
