Niste Snatches the Chip Lead From Gromov
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
There were around 500,000 chips in the pot on an A♦J♠4♠10♥ board when Dmitry Gromov checked from the big blind and Mihai Niste fired 350,000 from under the gun. Gromov responded with a check-raise to an even 1,000,000, which Niste called pretty quickly.
A 5♣ appeared on the river and Gromov checked, then after a long time, Niste checked back. Gromov then showed Q♠Q♣ for a pair of queens, but Niste had a set of jacks holding J♦J♣ to scoop the pot...and take the chip lead!
