Gruissem Busts for a Third Time
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Martin Finger opened for 11,000 from middle position only to have Johannes Strassmann three-bet to 32,000 from the hijack. Philipp Gruissem, who hasn't had much luck today, then four-bet to 53,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself around 100,00 behind.
The button and small blind folded, and then Shawn Buchanan came in with a five-bet to 80,000. Finger got out of the way, as did Strassmann, and Gruissem shoved all in. Buchanan snap-called and Gruissem was in dire straits.
Gruissem: 
Buchanan: 
Gruissem was dominated and received no reprieve as the board ran out 
. With that, Gruissem was sent to the rail for the third time.
It'll be interesting to see if Gruissem will fire a fourth bullet before the start of Day 2 tomorrow.
