Tsouloftas Wins Three in a Row, Sending Kostagiolas to the Rail
With about 150,000 in the pot and the board showing 8♦J♠K♥Q♠8♣, Romain Retiere was facing a bet of 320,000 from Georgios Tsouloftas, putting him all in. After using two time bank cards, Retiere decided to fold, giving the pot to Tsouloftas.
On the very next hand, Tsouloftas opened the action with a raise to 17,000 from the middle position, and Leonidas Kostagiolas responded by going all in for 121,000. After a brief pause, Tsouloftas made the call, and they went to showdown.
Leonidas Kostagiolas: K♠10♠
Georgios Tsouloftas: 5♦5♠
The board offered no help to Kostagiolas, running out 8♥2♠Q♦A♣6♥, and he was eliminated as Tsouloftas added to his stack again.
If that wasn’t enough, on the very next hand, Tsouloftas scooped the blinds and antes after opening once more, as no one wanted to challenge his hot streak.
