Svetlana Hits the River

Svetlana Gromenkova  - Event #51
Svetlana Gromenkova - Event #51
We caught up to this hand on the flop. With the board reading {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, a middle position player check-raised all in after Svetlana Gromenkova bet 6,000. Gromenkova made the call and the players showed:

Gromenkova: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

The turn came the {2-Diamonds} which helped neither player. Gromenkova was probably looking for a heart for the win, but the {J-Diamonds} that hit the river was just as good. She sent another player to the rail and chipped up to about 52,000 in the process.
