Grippo Survives
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Nicholas Grippo was already all-in from the button and was contesting for the main pot of 600,000 on the 5♦A♣J♥ flop. Valentin Vornicu was in the small blind and check-called a bet of 130,000 from Jacob Mendelsohn in the big blind.
Both active players checked the 3♦ turn and when the Q♣ hit the river, Vornicu checked again. Mendelsohn then bet 475,000, and after some consideration, Vornicu folded.
"Phew. I guess you win,", said Mendelsohn to Grippo. Mendelsohn then showed A♠8♥8♠7♥ for a pair of aces, and Grippo flipped 5♣4♣3♠2♦ for a wheel to take the main pot.
