Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Stephen Groom had flat-called an earlier open in the cutoff before Brian Moore made a huge three-bet to 2,600,000 on the button, around half his stack. The action folded to Groom, who back-raise shoved all in, covering the last overseas player standing.
Moore counted his chips and decided he could not fold as he put in the call for his tournament life.
Brian Moore: A♠5♠ 
Stephen Groom: A♦A♣
"We just need to fade spades," Groom told his rail, and he did just so on the 6♠2♥10♣9♣3♥ runout. The big pot was shipped Grooom's way, who crossed the eight-figure mark while leaving Moore stranded in 12th place.
