Studniarz Hits Gross River
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The board read 9♠K♠5♣7♥ when Jeffrey Gross moved his last 66,500 into a pot of 85,000 from the big blind.
Sylwia Studniarz was in the cutoff and deliberated her options. Eventually, she made a reluctant call to put her opponent at risk.
Jeffrey Gross: A♣K♥
Sylwia Studniarz: K♦10♠
Gross needed to fade just three outs to secure his double-up, but Studniarz made her two pair on the 10♥ river. Gross took the beat in stride, wishing his former tablemates good luck before the tournament area.
"Rather lucky than smart," Studniarz concluded as she raked in the pot.
