Grogan's Master Plan Succeeds

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Danny Grogan had done the 'virtual all-in' where he left a single chip behind and pushed the rest of his stack of 375,000 into the middle but then Kai Müller who covered moved all in for real.

The action folded back around to Grogan who then went into the tank, trying to secure a pay jump.

After a minute or so, the clock was called and he was given a 30-second countdown. As his clock reached zero, he flicked in the chip and flipped over A?J?.

Müller then laughed and also flipped over A?J?, much to the table's amusement.

Neither player had an opportunity to hit a flush on the runout and the pot was quickly chopped up between the two.

Ironically, Grogan's plan actually worked as he did secure a pay jump during this ordeal.
