Kozieja Takes from Meitanies
George Meitanies started things off strong from early position, raising to 2,500. Grzegorz Kozieja, sitting in the big blind, decided to call.
The flop came down 10♦3♣8♦, and both players checked it through.
When the 7♠ hit the turn, Kozieja took the initiative with a bet of 1,700, which Meitanies called.
They both checked again on the 5♣ river, leading to a showdown. Kozieja revealed 7♥6♦ for a pair of sevens, enough to take the pot as Meitanies tossed his cards into the muck.
In the very next hand, Meitanies once again opened from under the gun, raising to 2,500. This time, Kozieja wasn't playing around and went all in for his last 19,000. Without hesitation, Meitanies snap-called.
Kozieja turned over A♣K♥, while Meitanies showed 6♠6♥, slightly ahead in the race.
The dealer revealed K♠K♣9♥ on the flop, flipping the script entirely. Meitanies must have been hoping for another six, but the 5♠ turn didn't help and the river brought the A♠, giving Kozieja a full house and allowing him to double up.
