Big Slick Does the Trick for Grasu
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dylan Cechowski opened to 2,000 from early position and was called by Patrice Nicolas in the cutoff. Alin Grasu then squeezed to 7,500 on the button and both Cechowski and Nicolas called.
Action checked to Grasu on the 6♣7♣A♥ flop and he continued for 7,000. Cechowski called and Nicolas check-raised to 20,000. Grasu moved all in for approximately 35,000, which got a fold from Cechowski and a call from Nicolas to be put at risk.
Alin Grasu: A♣K♣
Patrice Nicolas: 7♥6♦
Nicolas was ahead with his two pair, but the K♠ turn vauled Grasu into the lead with a higher two pair.
The 2♠ river changed nothing and Grasu doubled up through Nicolas.
