Groofi's Kings Cracked

Patrick Cole

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos opened from the hijack to 75,000. Asaf Groofi reraised all in on the button for 245,000. Action folded back around and Kiripoulos made the call.

Asaf Groofi: K♥K♦ All in
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♥Q♥

An ace in the window wasn't what Groofi wanted as the A♣Q♦A♠ flop rolled off. Groofi stood up before the J♠ turn came and the river 4♥ sent him to the rail. He took a photo of the runout before leaving the table.
