Blind vs. Blind

Action folded around to Frank Sinopoli in the small blind and he limped. Philipp Gruissem then checked his option in the big blind and it was heads up to the {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop. Sinopoli was first and bet the size of the pot, which was 140,000. Gruissem called the bet, leading to the {5-Clubs} on the turn.

This time Sinopoli checked, Gruissem bet 300,000, and Sinopoli called. The betting swung the other way on the {9-Hearts} river when Sinopoli once again lead out, this time for 350,000. Gruissem called and revealed {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for two pair, which was good enough to win the hand.
