No Gruissem Beats Here

Philipp Gruissem gives the thumbs up to his rail.

Action folded to Philipp Gruissem on the button and he raised to 235,000. Samuel Holden was next to act in the small blind and he three-bet to 3,000,000, enough to put Gruissem all in if he elected to call, which is exactly what he did when he pushed forward his last 2.33 million.

Showdown
Holden: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Gruissem: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop provided Holden with a gut-shot straight draw, but neither the {4-Diamonds} turn nor {q-Diamonds} river completed it. Gruissem's kings held and he doubled to 4.98 million; meanwhile, Holden took a hit down to 2.1 million.
