: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The other player in the hand jammed for 75,000. Grassi rejammed for a bit more and the player from under the gun, who had both his opponents covered, made the call.
Grassi held and was up against the held by the player from under the gun and 
from the third player in the hand.
The 
board was good enough for cowboys to hold and Grassi headed to break with one of the biggest stacks in play.
