Grieco Getting Involved

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

In the first hand back from the break, Nicola Grieco was facing a raise to 600 from the player under the gun. Grieco responded with a three-bet all-in for 11,500, and everybody folded.

The very next hand, David Benichou opened to 1,600, which only Grieco called.

Benichou opted to check on the 6AA flop, but sprang his trap when he check-raised all in over Grieco's bet of 2,000. Grieco folded.

The dealer shuffled the cards and dealt another hand. Once again, Grieco got involved.

With a limp ahead of him, Grieco raised to 2,300 before calling a three-bet to 5,100 from Javier Rodriguez. The rest of the table, including the limper, folded.

The monotone 7910 flop saw Grieco surrender another pot, as he folded to a continuation bet.
