Hempel Puts Gross in a Tough Decision
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Benjamin Gross opened 2,200 under the gun and the cutoff called before Scott Hempel three-bet 14,500 from the small blind. Only Gross stuck around.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♦9♣8♦ and both players checked to see the 2♠ turn.
Hempel took a moment as he eyed Gross' stack. "Do you just have one green?"
After seeing Gross had 46,000 behind, he bet out 20,300. Gross went deep into the tank staring at the ceiling as he looked perplexed. After about a minute, he slid his cards towards the dealer, sending the pot to Hempel.
