Grodum Grows His Stack

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Shaun Decesare raised to 1,600 from the middle position and was called by Jostein Grodum in the hijack and Stefan Manara in the big blind.

The flop came {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Manara checked, Decesare continued with a bet of 2,100 which only Grodum called.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, Decesare fired a bet of 6,300 into the pot which was called again.

The river completed the board with the {7-Diamonds} and both players checked.

"Ace-high," Decesare announced.

Grodum quickly tabled {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the turned pair of eights to claim the pot.
