A Firm Grippo
Nicolas Grippo has just won himself a huge pot to take the chip lead here late on Day 1.
The man under the gun opened to 4,600 before Player 2 reraised to 10,600. In position, Grippo cold four-bet to 23,500. The opener folded, but Player 2 made the flat-call to go heads up to the flop.
It rolled out 
, and both men checked. The 
turn drew another check from Player 2, and Grippo took his cue to bet 21,000 at the pot. His opponent then check-raised all in for just over 60,000, and Grippo frowned and called.
Showdown
Player 2: 
Grippo: 
Grippo had turned his trips to take a huge lead in the hand with one card to come. The river was a blank 
, no help to Player 2, and he has been eliminated. Grippo, on the other hand, is now the commanding chip leader with 322,000 chips heaped in front of him.
