Cocchi On a Roll
Jul 13, '13
Daniele Cocchi is one of the chip leaders and he just took another pot down versus Philipp Gruissem. Cocchi limped preflop after which Gruissem called in position and the button raised to 750. The big blind called, Cocchi did and Gruissem followed suit.
The flop brought Q52 and all four players checked.
On the turn the 2 hit and the big blind checked to Cocchi who fired out 2,000. Guissem called and the other two players folded.
On the river the 5 hit and Cocchi bet 2,000. Gruissem paused and raised it up to 8,000. Cocchi wasted no time and three-bet to 19,000 after which Gruissem folded immediately.
David Sands burst out in laughter and said, “I expected you to do that,” while looking at Gruissem, “But I definitely did not think he would do that,” he added while he looked at Cocchi.
“I would’ve been so disappointed if you hadn’t raised there,” Sands added as Gruissem started laughing as well. Gruissem has 22,000 chips left while Cocchi is now sitting on 67,000.
