Grieco Shows the Bluff Against Loeser
Nicola Grieco raised the button to 200,000 with 
and Viktor Katzenberger called in the small blind with the 
, as did Manig Loeser with 
in the big blind. The flop brought 
and both blinds checked, Grieco bet 275,000 and Loeser was the only caller.
The 
turn gave Grieco a gutshot while Loeser picked up the nut flush draw on top of his pair. Loeser checked once more and Grieco fired a second barrel worth 500,000, the call of Loeser followed.
After the 
river, Loeser checked and Grieco emptied the clip with a bet of 1,200,000.
"I think you might be bluffing," Loeser said and Grieco replied with a no.
"I think you might have ace-king," Loeser added and tried to get some reaction from Grieco. A time bank was tossed into the middle by Loeser, followed by another one. A third time bank was invested and Loeser ended up folding. The Italian showed the bluff and exhaled deeply in relief.
Shortly after, Grieco was back to his chatty self and couldn't help but needling Loeser with a "that's poker, my friend."
