Grippo Busts Finucane

Jeff Finucane checked the {J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{K-Hearts} board, and Nick Grippo bet 100,000. Finucane tried to check-raise, but he had accidentally string bet and Grippo called him on it to enforce the rules.

Grippo was correct, and the bet was ruled a string bet, forcing Finucane to take back the raise and just call. Then, the {4-Diamonds} landed on the river, and Finucane instantly shoved. Grippo snapped with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for top two pair. Finucane held the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and lost.

With that pot, Grippo moved to nearly 1.7 million in chips.

Massey Nearing One Million

After a minute in the tank, Massey moved all in and covered the button's remaining 350,000 or so. The button folded, and Massey won the pot.
