Score Another One for Sweet Svetlana

Sweet Svetlana
Sweet Svetlana
Vesenia Garcia raised to 22,000 from late position and Svetlana Gromenkova called from the small blind. The flop was {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Gromenkova led out for 20,000 and Garcia called. The turn was the {9-Hearts}. Gromenkova bet 40,000, Garcia raised to 100,000 and Gromenkova called. The river was the {4-Hearts} and both players checked.

Garcia showed {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for a busted flush draw while Gromenkova flipped over {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts} and took it down with second pair. Garcia was down to 170,000 after the hand while Gromenkova continued to pull away from the field.

(Gromenkova was originally dubbed "Sweet Svetlana" by Poker News' own Dr. Pauly when she final tabled a Borgata tournament back in 2006)
