Mustn't Gromble

Ashira Lavine has taken a bit of a hit after getting involved with Dmitry Gromov in a blind-on-blind encounter.

The flop read {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} by the time our interest was piqued, and Gromov (small blind) was betting out 30,000. Lavine (big blind) raised to 90,000, only for Gromov to three-bet to 190,000. Lavine silently called, and they proceeded.

Both players checked the {10-Diamonds} turn, and Gromov checked the {4-Clubs} river too. Lavine stared open-mouthed and frozen at the board for some time, before turning her attention first to assessing Gromov's stack (around 350,000), and then to stacking and restacking parts of her own (also at roughly 350,000).

Lavine looked as though she was seriously considering a bet of some sort, but ultimately she checked. Gromov flipped {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights, and Lavine briefly checked her own hole cards before throwing them in the muck.
