Grupp Backdoors into the Nuts
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Sam Darkin made it 200,000 from the hijack with only Kyle Grupp calling out of the cutoff.
After seeing the 7♣4♣A♥ flop fall, Darkin put out a continuation-bet of 300,000, which Grupp quickly called.
The 6♠ turn caused Darkin to slow down and check. Grupp bet 780,000, and after some tanking, Darkin called.
Darkin knuckled the table for the last time on the 8♦ river. Grupp gathered together a bet of 1,300,000, which Darkin called.
Grupp had backed into the nut straight with 10♣9♣ to take down the pot, as Darkin tossed away his A♠8♥ for a rivered two pair.
