Grieco Eliminated

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Claas Segebrecht opened the cutoff for 4,000 and his neighbor Byron Kaverman three-bet to 12,000. Big blind Nicola Grieco cold called, Segebrecht called to see a flop as well.

Grieco and Segebrecht checked on {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Kaverman bet 15,000. Grieco called, Segebrecht folded.

The {7-Hearts} hit the turn and things went real quick from there. Grieco pushed his remaining stack in, though we did not get a count as Kaverman called instantly and the hand was over before we knew it.

Byron Kaverman: {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Nicola Grieco: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}

The river {7-Diamonds} was nonconsequential and Grieco muttered some words in Italian before he as heading for the exit.
