Zarin Gets There Against Groth to Score Vital Double
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Allan Le raised to 100,000 on the button, and Tyler Groth called in the small blind. Jonathan Zarin three-bet the pot to 400,000 with 250,000 behind, and Le eyed up his stack before letting go. Groth checked his stack carefully, gave it more than a minute of consideration, and reraised the pot. Zarin called all in and was in need of help once the cards were tabled.
Jonathan Zarin: 
Tyler Groth: 
"Diamonds," Groth demanded, but the 
flop gave Zarin two pair. On the 
turn, Groth picked up some outs, while the 
river changed nothing. Zarin doubled up, and while remaining the shortest stack, he is right back in this battle for the bracelet.
