Grassmann Takes a Hit but Roars Back to 12k
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a board of 5?J?7?3?, Bruno Mota shoved all-in with 9?3?, holding a pair and a flush draw. Patrick Grassmann snap-called with 7?7?, having flopped a set of sevens. But the river delivered the 8?, completing Mota's flush and leaving Grassmann with just 4,000 chips��crumbs.
However, Grassmann managed to double up in the very next hand when he was in the big blind. He pushed all-in against an open raise from Safwane Bahri, who made the call.
Patrick Grassmann: K?10?
Safwane Bahri: K?8?
The board ran out J?7?Q?5?A?, giving Grassmann a straight and saving his tournament life.
Not done yet, Grassmann pushed all-in in the next two hands, stealing the blinds each time, and managed to climb back to nearly 12,000 chips.
