Tollgate Will Lose Some Sleep

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tom Grigg has been trying to run over his table all day, but he has met some resistance from Vlad Rosca two seats to his left.

The two tangled in a recent pot that has left the Full Tilt Ambassador a little shell-shocked.

Rosca started with a raise under the gun and found one caller before Grigg made it 2,650 to go from the small blind. Rosca put in a four-bet to 5,200 which forced a fold from the third player, but Grigg came along to see a flop.

Grigg checked and Rosca bet 4,000. Grigg made the call and the double-paired the board. Grigg tapped the table again and Rosca checked behind to see the appear on the river.

Grigg thought for a moment and checked for a third time, but Rosca tossed out 7,500 into the middle, leaving himself about 10,000 behind. Grigg was sent deep into the tank. He pained over the decision for a good five minutes, apologizing to the table on several occasions.

Grigg eventually tossed his cards into the muck in frustration.

“Do you want to see one?” posed Rosca.

“They are both the same!” declared Grigg who suspected a big pocket pair, but Rosca quickly proved that wrong as he flashed for a complete air-ball.
