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.
