John Gale Eliminated

John Gale raised to 300 from under the gun. Action folded around to Svetlana Gromenkova in the small blind and she made the call.

It was heads up to the flop of {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Gromenkova check-called Gale's bet of 500. The turn came the {J-Hearts} and Gromenkova checked again. Gale fired 1,500 and Gromenkova raised to 5,500. Gale moved all in and Gromenkova quickly called. The players showed:

Gromenkova: {2-Spades} {2-Clubs}
Gale: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

The river was the {Q-Clubs} and Gromenkova's boat was best. John Gale headed for the rail while Svetlana stacked the pot. After the hand she sits on a stack of just shy of 50,000 chips.
