Todor Kondevski opened the action to 600 before Steve Topakas popped it up to 2,200 on the button. Play folded back to Kondevski who put in a four-bet to 7,000 to send "The Big Show" into the tank. After several minutes of thought he splashed a chunk of yellow 5,000-denomination chips into the middle to put Kondevski all in and he immediately made the call.
Kondevski:
Topakas:
It was a rematch between these two players who went heads in the Melbourne Poker Championships Main Event last year. That day it was Kondevski who was victorious over Topakas to claim the title, but today Topakas was able to extract a small element of revenge as the board was spread .
Kondevski hit the rail as Topakas elevated himself to 60,000 chips.
