Battle Recommences...150/300

Despite picking up a pot just now with a threebet from the button on an Ac-Jh-2h board, Richard Gryko's stack is hovering around the 16,500 mark now. 'Small ball' is a phrase on the front cover of two of the magazines in my house, so I am going to apply it to the way they were playing at this stage....

.....UNTIL

Button Tom Bentham raises to 800. Richard Gryko calls.
Flop: 2d-4d-8s

Gryko checked. Bentham bet 1,100. Gryko raised now to 3,550. Back to Bentham, who's now the one taking his time. His deliberations end with a quiet announcement, "All in." Back to Gryko who took one last look at his cards. "I call."

Bentham: Ad-5d
Gryko: Kc-8c

"Wanna swap?" half-jokes Gryko as the turn blanks 4c, but the river brings the As - out-pairing the Eights.

This brings very abruptly to an end the Final Match!
