Hot Flushes

(Omaha)

More fireworks than bonfire night (or the 4th of July for our American viewers) as Richard Gryko doubles up to 125,000. And it was Gryko who kicked off proceedings, making it 5,200 from under the gun. Hoyt Corkins (cut-off) and Mats Gavatin (big blind) both called, meaning we had three-way action to a {5-Hearts}

flop.

One quick glance at his chips, and Gavatin was leading out for 12,300, obviously hoping that his remaining opponents were holding big cards. Gryko liked the flop, but not enough to insta-push. He dwelt momentarily, and then in he went, 53,500 (the pot) with just a few bits of shrapnel behind.

But let's not forget Horkins, the former WPT star - he was equally interested, and duly announced all in behind. His 53,500 was separated from the rest of his stack, leaving an additional 32,400.

Back round to Gavatin, and even he looked tempted! He mulled momentarily, but a fold seemed inevitable, be it with a big hand which later mumbles revealed was a folded set. But with Gavatin out of the way, we had a showdown:

Gryko == {A-Hearts}
