Gross Talks Studniarz Into Doubling Him Up
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In the final hand before the break, arriving on a 10♥5♦8♥K♦ turn, Jeff Gross checked from the big blind to Sylwia Studniarz in early position. Studniarz bet 60,000, and Gross moved all in for 262,000.
Studniarz spent more than five minutes in the tank, during which she and Gross were almost constantly talking to each other. Eventually, Studniarz hinted she might have queen-jack for a straight draw.
"If you have queen-jack, do what you have to do," Gross said to her.
The clock was then called on Studniarz, and she called off during her countdown.
Jeff Gross: K♠10♦ 
Sylwia Studniarz: Q♣J♦
Studniarz's straight draw missed on the 6♣ river, and Gross raked in a double-up with his two pair.
