Groom Snaps It Off as Tsouloftas Takes Lead
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.
