Grieco Wins Piles After Fluxa Misclick
Miguel Angel Fluxa opened to 2,200 in middle position. In the cutoff, Saar Wilf three-bet to 6,200. On the button, Nicola Grieco four-bet all in for 120,000. The dealer placed the all-in triangle in front of Grieco, but Grieco didn't put any chips into the pot.
Back on Fluxa, wearing full headphones, he tossed one chip worth 5,000 into the pot and said call. Wilf quickly let his cards go. WIth over 100,000 in his stack, it soon became apparent that Fluxa didn't realize Grieco had moved all in. The tournament director was called to sort the situation.
Given the dealer's clear announcing of the action, the all-in triangle in play, and action behind Fluxa after he made the call, the director ruled that the call would stand. The two players were off to an unlikely pot worth over 200 big blinds.
During the conversation, Grieco was more than willing to let Fluxa fold given the mistake, but the director handled the situation according to the action and details provided.
Miguel Angel Fluxa: 
Nicola Grieco: 
The board ran out 
, Fluxa couldn't overtake the dominating hand and was eliminated.
Fluxa handled the exit with grace and headed out of the tournament.
Grieco was celebratory, singing in Italian as he collected the pot. Still, he felt for Fluxa. "I'm sorry, man. If it was me, I would be ok with you folding." That may be, but it was still Grieco with the massive stack and Fluxa headed out the door.
