Lie Doubles Through Gromov
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A player in the hijack opened to 12,000 and received calls from Dmitry Gromov on the button and Aylar Lie in the big blind.
The fop came 8?4?3?. Lie moved all in for 34,500, forcing a fold from the original preflop raiser while Gromov made the call with a covering stack to put Lie at risk.
Aylar Lie: J?8? 
Dmitry Gromov: 7?7?
Lie was in great shape with top pair needing to fade only two outs to avoid elimination. The K? turn and 3? river changed nothing for either player and Lie secured a full double up at Gromov's expense.
