Gruneberg Backs into a Straight
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Zachary Gruneberg raised to 13,000 under-the-gun and was looked up by Melinda Harris in the cutoff, as well as Brian Gatliff in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣3♠2♠ and Gatliff checked to Gruneberg as he tossed in a bet of 24,000. Both Harris and Gatliff made the call.
The 5♣ hit the turn and once checked to, Gruneberg continued for 47,000. Harris tossed her cards in the muck and after only a short pause, Gatliff made the call.
The 4♣ landed on the river and Gatliff checked for a final time. Gruneberg hesitated for a brief moment before checking back as he announced he had a straight. Gruneberg tabled A♥8♥ for the top pair on the flop, which turned into a straight on the river. Gatliff sighed as he tabled 5♦4♦ for two pair.
