Big Pot for Grieco

Livello 34 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Adrian State initiated the action with a raise to 500,000 from the button. Nicola Grieco called and opted to check in the dark before the dealer revealed the flop. State also checked the Q♣2♥Q♥ flop.

Grieco check-called State's bet of 1,000,000 on the 3♦ turn. The river brought the Q♠ and Grieco immediately bet 2,500,000.

"Do you have quads, my friend?" State asked.

"That strong? I'll show you one card," was Grieco's response.

State folded and jokingly said "left," asking Grieco to reveal the left card. Grieco turned over the 10♦. "I said right," joked State, wanting to see the other card as well.

Livello 34 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The action commenced when Jamie Flynn raised to 500,000 from the button. Romain Lewis went all in from the small blind, prompting Adrian State, seated in the big blind, to ask the dealer for a count. Ultimately, State not only called the 2,700,000 from Lewis but also went all in himself. Flynn folded, leading to a showdown:

Romain Lewis: 10♥10♦ All in
Adrian State: A♦Q♥

There was no sweat for Adrian as the queen showed as the first card the dealer turned on the flop of Q♠J♠4♥. The 3♠ turn brought the flush draw, but no one had a spade, so the 4♣ on the river sealed the deal and sent Lewis to the rail.

Livello 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Adrian State called the all in from Mohamed Mehalleg in the small blind, leaving Nicola Grieco with the option to join the action. Grieco ultimately decided to fold.

State revealed 10♠10♣ and Mehalleg, at risk, expressed displeasure as he showed 7♦7♣.

The board failed to improve Mehalleg's hand, displaying 9♣A♥6♣A♠J♠. Mehalleg had made several good decisions throughout the day, but this last one ultimately led to his exit.
