Grudi Grudev Takes an Early Hit

We caught up to this hand on the flop. With the board reading {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs}, Grudi Grudev checked to his lone opponent, who bet 6,000. Grudev raised to 17,000 and was called.

The {K-Hearts} hit the turn and Grudev, who started the hand with more chips, moved all in. His opponent had about 17,000 left and called all in. The players showed:

Grudev: {7-Hearts} {6-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

The river fell the {2-Spades} and Grudev couldn't beat his opponent's queen-high. He slipped to approximately 43,000 chips on the hand.
