Groofi Cracks Top Set For Massive Double

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ondrej Drozd, Asaf Groofi, and Cenk Nigbolu went to the turn on a board of {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} when Groofi and Drozd got the rest of Groofi's 99,700 chips in the middle, while Nigbolu got out of the way.

Drozd showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for top set, but Groofi had {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a turned straight. Drozd needed the board to pair to avoid handing over a big chunk of his stack, but he got no help on the {q-Clubs} river as Groofi doubled up.

"So many big turn cards for you today," a tablemate told Groofi after the hand.

"I had aces," Nigbolu admitted.
