Grocott Doubles Through Li
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Alexander Grocott made it 2,800 from the cutoff and Shengyu Li re-raised to 9,200. With the action back on Grocott he reached for raising chips once more and slid out a three-bet of 25,000 only to see Li move all-in for 86,500 in total.
Grocott rocked back in his chair and took off his hood.
“I call I guess,” said the Aussie, “I just hope you don’t have aces…”
Shengyu Li: 
Alexander Grocott: 
Grocott was in luck and Li did not have aces, with the board running out 
to give Grocott top set and the double to over 170,000 while Li was left dangerously short on 5,800.
