Bacak Times Out, Gromov Rakes a Healthy Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Dmitry Gromov
Dmitry Gromov

There was a raise from the hijack before Dmitry Gromov three-bet to 3,100 from the cutoff. Hulusi Bacak cold-called from the big blind, and the hijack also called.

The flop fell AJ10, which checked to Gromov, who then fired out 5,100. Bacak check-raised to 15,100, the hijack folded, and Gromov called.

A K landed on the turn and Bacak elected to slow down and checked, only for Gromov to throw out 10,000. Bacak took his time but eventually called.

When the 2 completed the board, Bacak quickly led out for 16,200, then Gromov just as quickly shoved for around 70,000. Bacak had around 55,000 remaining in his stack after his bet and needed a lot of time to think this one over. So much time in fact, that the clock was called and a 30-second countdown was initiated. With no action from Bacak when the clock his zero, his hand was declared dead and Gromov took the pot.
