A Bad Feeling

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Philipp Gruissem had an opponent all in and at risk preflop. Gruissem's {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} had his opponent's {a-Spades}{8-Spades} crushed, yet Gruissem seemed nervous.

"I have a bad feeling about this one," he announced.

The flop came down {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, giving Gruissem's opponent a pair of eights, and the {6-Spades} bricked on the turn. Gruissem had to just dodge two eights, but failed to do so when the {8-Hearts} spiked on the river.

"Oh my god!" Claudia Crawford exclaimed. "You were right!"

Gruissem wasn't as excited as Crawford, and saw his stack slip to 565,000 chips.
