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 6♥A♠A♦ 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 7♠9♠10♠ flop saw Grieco surrender another pot, as he folded to a continuation bet.
