Georgios Karakousis opened for 160,000 from the cutoff holding the 
only to have Ludovic Geilich make a move by three-betting to 355,000 from the button with the 
. Robin Ylitalo then looked down at the 
in the small blind and four-bet to 860,000.
Karakousis then put together some stacks and began to slide them out with one hand. As he was doing so, one of the stacks fell out of his grasp and was left behind. After putting two stacks in, he went back for the one left behind. Some of the other players cried string bet, but the staff ruled the forward motion and intention indicated a five-bet. This was no doubt music to Ylitalo's ears as Karakousis ended up making it 1.635 million.
Geilich quickly folded, Ylitalo moved all in, and Karakousis refused to call off his remaining chips and relinquished his hand.
