Tough End of the Road for Plusko

GeoffFisk

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jessica Plusko sat down at a new table with 500,000 chips and John Gribben on her direct left. A few hands later, those half-million chips were in Gribben's possession after a brutal run of luck for Plusko.

Gribben gave PokerNews the details of the hand that sent most of Plusko's chips his way. Plusko raised on the small blind, Gribben three-bet from the big blind, Plusko four-bet jammed and Gribben called.

John Gribben:
Jessica Plusko:

A ten turned up on the flop for Gribben, and the set held up through the runout and left Plusko with just 41,000 chips.

A couple of hands later, Plusko went all in preflop with those 41,000 and got called by Gribben on the button.

Jessica Plusko:
John Gribben:

Gribben once again hit a set on Plusko, with a six coming in on the flop. Plusko headed to the rail in the aftermath, and Gribben now sits at nearly 700k.
