Gromov Falls to Saiapin
Level 4
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player from early position opened to 2,500 and received calls from Dmitry Gromov in middle position, Andrei Daniliuk in the small blind and Iurii Saiapin in the big blind.
The flop came J♠7♦5♦. Daniliuk checked and Saiapin bet 3,000. The original raiser bumped it up to 7,000 before Gromov raised to 17,000. Daniliuk got out of the way before Saiapin moved all in, covering both remaining players. Gromov made the call to put himself at risk.
Dmitry Gromov: J♦8♦
Iurii Saiapin: 7♠5♠
Both players had connected with the board; Gromov had made top pair with a flush draw while Saiapin had bottom two pair. Gromov couldn't improve on the 10♣ turn or 4♣ river and was eliminated by Saiapin who dragged in a sizable pot.
