Zarin Wins a Big One, Narrows the Gap

Jonathan Zarin limped from the small blind, and Taylor Groth reraised to 160,000 in the big blind. Zarin declared, "Pot," with a very decisive voice. Groth called, and they looked at the flop with nearly a million in the middle.

Groth check-called another 245,000 as the fight continued toward the turn.

Groth left the aggression to Zarin again with a check. Zarin shoved his remaining 755,000 into the middle, and that finally stopped Groth, as he laid his cards down after a routine double-check.
