Gkatzas Scores Huge Knockout
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alessandro Pichierri opened the action to 20,000, and Sylwia Studniarz three-bet to 60,000 from the cutoff. The action folded to Simas Karaliunas in the small blind, who moved all in for 314,000. Dimitrios Gkatzas asked for the exact count from the big blind before moving all in himself for 363,000. Both Pichierri and Studniarz folded.
Simas Karaliunas: A♥Q♦
Dimitrios Gkatzas: Q♠Q♣
Karaliunas needed some luck to win this hand, but the J♣3♣5♣ flop made his job even harder, taking away one of his outs. The J♥ turn and 4♠ river offered no help, and Karaliunas was eliminated from the tournament as Gkatzas added a significant pot to his stack.
