Gromenkova Takes a Dive
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action had folded around to Reza Fahim on the button who open-jammed for his last 7,000 and the small blind folded. Svetlana Gromenkova was in the big blind and had 18,500 behind her and went into the tank. She took around a minute before opting to call, putting Fahim at risk of elimination from the Main Event.
Reza Fahim: Q♦J♠
Svetlana Gromenkova: Q♠10♦
Fahim was ahead and held on the 7♥5♥3♣ flop. There was no change on the Q♣ turn and the J♥ river locked up the double for Fahim, leaving Gromenkova with just ten big blinds to play with.
