Groombridge's Squeeze Play Works Out Well
Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
There was a raise from under the gun to 10,000 and a call from the hijack. Paul Groombridge then three-bet squeezed all in for roughly 60,000 out of the small blind. The under-the-gun player shoved all in himself for 130,000 and the hijack folded. The cards were turned over with Groombridge at risk.
Paul Groombridge: 7♠4♠ 
Under-the-Gun Player: Q♠Q♦
Groombridge needed a lot of help if he was to stay alive and he found it on the 7♦7♥8♣ flop, improving him to trip sevens. The A♦ turn and 3♥ river were safe and Groombridge more than doubled up, much to the dismay of his opponent.
