Dmitry Gromov Eliminated in 10th Place ($28,900)
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Dmitry Gromov raised to 800,000 under the gun and Umberto Ruggeri three-bet to 1,400,000 from the cutoff. After it folded back to Gromov he burned through two of his time bank cards before making the call with roughly 925,000 behind.
Gromov checked the 4♥J♠9♦ flop and Ruggeri bet enough to put Gromov all in. Gromov thought for a few moments before making the call.
Dmitry Gromov: 8♦8♣ 
Umberto Ruggeri: Q♥Q♣
Gromov was behind for now with two eights against the pocket queens of Ruggeri. The 2♥ came on the turn and Gromov was one card away from being the final table bubble boy of the Main Event. The 6♦ peeled off on the river to cement Gromov's elimination in tenth, and the final table for the 2025 Western Series Main Event was set.
