Sachinidis Runs Into Ladies
Sachinidis Runs Into Ladies
With the action folding round to Tino Lechich on the button he opened with a raise to 1,650. As Sachinidis sweated his cards in the big blind he looked up at Lechich and announced all in.

Lechich called the additional 5,000 and tabled his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Sachinidis stood up and stated, "Not again" in reference to the numurous times he has lost with and to those dreaded ladies.

Sachinidis' {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} would need a lot of help to keep him alive, the board ran out {3-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Sachinidis hit the rail as Lechich moved up to 29,000 in chips.

Nathan Rivers Mariakis

Shak Feels The Dong

Shak Left Short
Shak Left Short
Dan Shak limped from middle position and then called a 2,700-chip raise from Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis out of the cutoff.

Both players checked the flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and when the {9-Clubs} landed on the turn Shak checked to Karamalikis who led for 2,500. Shak quickly called and when the {7-Clubs} peeled on the turn threw out a 2,500 bet of his own. Karamalikis raised to 10,000 which was followed by Shak moving in for his last 18,000.

Karamalikis instantly called tabling {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a full house as Shak mucked his cards uttering that he had pocket eights. As Shak looked down at the few thousand he had remaining, Karamalikis raked in the pot sending him to over 50,000 and is starting to snap on the heels of Nik Lackovic.

Biggest Pot of the Night Goes to Karambis

Under the gun Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis made it 1,500 to play and Larry Karambis reraised to 4,500 from the cutoff. Karamalikis called and the flop came {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}.

Karamalikis checked, only to hear Karambis say he was all in. Karamalikis wasted little time and called with {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, but still was behind Karambis' {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}.

The {2-Hearts} turn and {6-Hearts} river did not improve Karamalikis' hand as Karambis took in the pot worth 80,000. Karamalikis is down to 14,000.
