Aaron Grossman opened to 5,500 and was called by Joe Stapleton and the big blind to see the flop of 5?8?4?.
The big blind checked to Grossman, who also checked, which prompted a bet of 7,500 from Stapleton. The big blind quickly got out of the way and the action was on Grossman.
"He's got me covered, doesn't he?" Grossman asked aloud, and Stapleton responded by showing his stack and proving that he did, in fact, have him covered.
After a few more seconds, Grossman tossed in his cards and the pot was awarded to Stapleton.
