Grothues Eliminated by Inaccurate Username

Geoff Paul

Level 25 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Preflop action opened from the button, with "nvrlucky" raising to 22,000. Jeremy "GrubbsTest" Grothues then reraised all in from the big blind for 59,655.

Jeremy "GrubbsTest" Grothues: 4?4?
"nvrlucky": Q?J?

Grothues was well ahead when the flop came A?A?7?. That story did not change when the 3? came on the turn, but a river J? meant that "nvrlucky" did in fact get lucky, which ended Grothues' run.
