and Gruissem had moved all-in for 37,000. His opponent, in the hand, was Bobby Moore and while he was in the tank Gruissem started talking to him. We are not sure if this pushed Moore to call, but he did, and Gruissem did not want a call.

.
Moore turned over
for second pair and after the
came on the river he moved up to 200,000; Gruissem was out.
