Kraous Triples up; Joyce Takes the Side
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 110,000 from under the gun and just behind him, Anton Kraous shoved for his last 250,000. Action then folded around to Philip Joyce on the button, who made it 425,000 to go. Tsouloftas called.
Tsouloftas checked to Joyce, who made a small bet of 60,000 on the 4♣3♦2♠ flop. Tsouloftas raised to 360,000 and Joyce called.
Both players checked on the K♥ turn and Tsouloftas checked a final time after the 2♣ completed the board.
Joyce fired 650,000 into the middle and Tsouloftas let his hand go.
Kraous revealed K♦8♦ for a turned pair of kings, which was good for the triple up against Joyce, who held Q♥Q♠ for the side pot.
