Kotoumpas More Than Doubles Up
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Georgios Kotoumpas opened the action to 2,500 from early position, and Marcel Lopko called from his direct left. When the action reached Fintan Gavin in the small blind, he put out a three-bet of 7,900, and both of his opponents called.
With more than 25,000 in the middle, the flop came out 2♦J♠K♣, and Gavin continued his aggression with a bet of 5,500. Kotoumpas and Lopko both called.
The turn brought the 10♦, and this time Gavin checked. Kotoumpas announced all in, and Lopko snap called. Gavin quickly folded.
Georgios Kotoumpas: A♦Q♣ 
Marcel Lopko: 10♣J♣
The turn gave Lopko two pair, but Kotoumpas hit a straight, which held up as the winning hand after the dealer revealed the 7♦ on the river and Kotoumpas scooped the massive pot.
