Lie Doubles Through Gromov
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A player in the hijack opened to 12,000 and received calls from Dmitry Gromov on the button and Aylar Lie in the big blind.
The fop came 8♦4♥3♠. Lie moved all in for 34,500, forcing a fold from the original preflop raiser while Gromov made the call with a covering stack to put Lie at risk.
Aylar Lie: J♠8♠ 
Dmitry Gromov: 7♠7♦
Lie was in great shape with top pair needing to fade only two outs to avoid elimination. The K♠ turn and 3♣ river changed nothing for either player and Lie secured a full double up at Gromov's expense.
