Gryko Almost Doubles Up
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Joao Simao raised to 175,000 from the hijack. Richard Gryko in the cutoff three-bet to 445,000 with only 5,000 behind and Simao went deep into the tank before making the call.
The K♠9♥8♠ flop and the A♦ turn were checked by both players. The 3♣ landed on the river and after Simao checked, Gryko moved all-in.
Even if he only had to add 5,000 to call, Simao seemed to have no choice but to fold Q♣9♣7♣6♣ face up. Gryko had A♥A♣10♦6♠ and almost doubled up.
