Grabe Doubles Through LaRocca
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
George Grabe pushed all-in from the small blind and Anthony LaRocca asked for a count. He eventually was called when it was deemed to be for 3,025,000.
George Grabe: Q♥Q♦
Anthony LaRocca: A♦6♦
The board ran out 10♥9♥2♣K♣4♣ and Grabe doubled. He then asked the other players if they would consider any deal while leaving money up top and Robert Bernstein as well as Vance Martin III said they would be up for discussions.
"I don't want to be asked," LaRocca replied to Grabe.
One hand later, Bernstein raised to 450,000 and was called by Grabe and LaRocca. The Q♠5♠2♠ flop was checked to the chip leader who bet 10,000,000 to force out both opponents.
