Power Play

Alexiou Konstantinos minimum-raised to 80,000, only for Andrew Alan Chen to bump it up to 290,000. Konstantinos quickly released his hand.

Italian Delight

Alexiou Konstantinos (whom Snoopy and I have started to refer to as Ctrl-V) raises to 90,000 on the button and Massimo Di Cicco reraises all in for 247,000 more. The chip leader is reluctant but makes the call with {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} against the Italian's {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}. The flop is {A-Spades} {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} and the Italian and his fans go crazy, the turn {K-Diamonds} hints of a chop but the river {9-Spades} allows another Italian to double up.

Must be Nice...

Fredrik Nygard raises to 72,000 and Alexiou Konstantinos makes the call. The flop is {K-Spades} {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Nygard bets 85,000 with Konstantinos calling. On the {J-Clubs} turn Nygard bets 130,000 and again Konstantinos calls. Nygard slows down and checks the {2-Diamonds} river and Konstantinos bets 200,000 and Nygard immediately calls, but mucks when the Greek chip leader shows him {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}!!!
