Groom Snaps It Off as Tsouloftas Takes Lead

Frank Visser

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised his A?J? to 1,000,000 chips in the cutoff and Stephen Groom defended his big blind with 9?5?. The pair then checked through the 5?8?10? flop before Groom led out for 1,500,000 on the 9? turn.

Tsouloftas called with his overcards and straight draw, and the river came the Q?. Groom reverted to checking, after which Tsouloftas made a bet of 2,300,000 with his rivered straight.

Groom immediately called with his two pair, which were sent into the muck as soon as Tsouloftas' hand was tabled.
