Grinevsky Bullies the Flop

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Igor Grinevsky opened the betting with a limp from early position, and he was called in four other spots. The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and small blind Ferosh Tailor elected to lead out for 1,000. It folded to Grinevsky and he bumped it up to 3.100.

Everyone else, including Tailor, mucked to the raise. He showed an ace-nine to the table and as he was collecting the pot he called himself "The guy who loses with kings" and recounted a previous hand where his pocket kings were crushed but an opponent's ace-king. "I would have had 45,000," he lamented while instead stacking around 10k in chips.

Grinevsky Wins with Kings

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Igor Grinevsky limped in from under the gun, and action folded all the way around to the blinds. The small blind tossed in the completion while the big blind checked their option.

Action on the board of {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} was checked through to the river when Grinevsky finally put in a bet of 800. The small blind folded, but the big blind stuck around with a call.

Grinevsky rolled over {k-}{q-} for the rivered pair, and the big blind mucked the hand. As "Iggy" Grinevsky was collecting the pot, he smiled and said to the table "I need a crucifixion tonight!"
