Chady Ojeil opened to 3,000 from under the gun and received calls from Boris Smuskevicius in early position, Dmitry Gromov in the hijack, a player in the cutoff and Aylar Lie in the big blind.
The flop came 6♥8♠5♣ and action checked around to Gromov who bet 5,000. The cutoff raised to 30,000 and action folded back to Gromov who made it 80,000. The cutoff moved all in with a covering stack and Gromov, who started the hand with 130,300, made the call for his tournament life.
Dmitry Gromov: 8♦8♥ 
Cutoff: K♣8♣
Gromov was a massive favorite with top set but the 2♣ turn brought his opponent some outs in the form of a flush draw. The 4♥ river was clean for Gromov and he dragged in a colossal pot.
