Gromov Staves Off Elimination
Level 6
: Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
With two players seeing a board of 7♥7♠J♠4♣ Dmitry Gromov, who had committed nearly his entire stack of roughly 15,000 on a previous street, moved all in for his last 1,500 which he had left behind. Armand Matti made the call to put Gromov at risk.
Dmitry Gromov: K♣J♦ 
Armand Matti: A♣10♦
Gromov was well ahead after connecting with the jack and just needed to fade an ace to avoid elimination. The 5♥ river was clean and Gromov secured a much-needed double up through Matti.
