Dmitry Gromov Doubles Thru Ron Schindelheim

Level 27: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

Michael Allen raises to 200,000 and then folds when Ron Schindelheim three-bets to 600,000. Allen raises the same amount the next hand and claims the blinds.

Daniel Charlton opens to 200,000 first to act and lets go when Joshua Figuerres three-bets to 700,000 in the cutoff.

Dmitry Gromov jams and claims the blinds.

Gromov jams again, for 1,150,000 and wins the blinds once again.

"You gonna make the final table and reach top three, I can feel it," Charlton tells Gromov.

Schindelheim then defends the big blind against Gromov's open raise and check-raises the Q♦ T♠ 2♣ flop from 200,000 to 600,000. Gromov jams and Schindelheim calls.

Dmitry Gromov: Q♣ J♥

Ron Schindelheim: Q♠ 4♠

The J♣ turn locks up Gromov's double for 1,200,000 to make the 9♦ river meaningless.

"I have your hand," Charlton tells Michael Allen and flips over ace-king suited.

Daniel Charlton: A♣ K♣

The A♥ T♠ 3♦ 3♣ 4♥ board sends Xu out as first casualty on the final day.

First hand at Table 1, Joshua Figuerres open jams for 1,350,000 and is joined by Ilias Sagias with 2,400,000, then big blind Ron Schindelheim likes his hand enough to use a time-bank before folding.
