Gromov Flips Out Halfa
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dmitry Gromov raised to 16,000 from middle position and was called by the player in the hijack. Shalev Halfa then squeezed all in from the big blind for 118,000, and Gromov moved in over the top. The hijack folded, and the players turned over their cards with Halfa at risk.
Shalev Halfa: 10♥10♦
Dmitry Gromov: A♠Q♣
It was a flip that Halfa needed to win to keep his hopes of reaching the money alive.
The 7♦J♠3♠ flop was safe for Halfa, but the Q♥ turn was a disaster as Gromov improved to top pair.
The 2♥ completed the runout, and Halfa headed for the exit of the poker room.
