Grodek Dusts Off Lie in the Penultimate Level
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stanislaw Grodek opened the hijack to 4,000 and Aylar Lie three-bet the cutoff to 12,000. When it got back to Grodek, he shoved for around 70,000, and Lie called off her stack of slightly less.
Aylar Lie: A♣Q♣ 
Stanislaw Grodek: A♥K♠
Lie was at risk and way behind to the superior holding of Grodek. A flop of 10♠7♣2♦ did give Lie a backdoor flush draw, but that was eradicated on the 4♥ turn. Only a queen on the river could save Lie, but instead Grodek improved to top pair when the K♦ completed the runout.
