Grodek Rivers a Straight, Timoshenko Calls Off Tournament Life
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A full board of K♠10♦10♥Q♠2♠ was showing with over 50,000 chips sitting in the middle when Aleksandr Timoshenko checked, and Stanislaw Grodek shoved. The two players had very similar stacks of just over 20,000 remaining, and after a while thinking, Timoshenko called .
Grodek then showed A♦J♦ for a straight, and Timoshenko's AxQ♣ went into the muck. The stacks were counted down and Grodek had slightly more, so Timoshenko was eliminated.
