Tsouloftas Descends Further

Frank Visser

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 1,300,000 on the button with two unknown cards and Mark Johnston flatted the small blind with A♥9♦.

Johnston check-called the 900,000 bet of Tsouloftas on the Q♥9♠4♦ flop and did so too for the 1,500,000 bet on the Q♦ turn.

The 8♣ river saw Johnston lead out for 3,2000,000 with his two pair and Tsouloftas spent several minutes in the tank before finding a fold and relinquishing the pot.

Suited Connectors Battle It Out

Frank Visser

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 1,200,000 under the gun with 5♦4♦ and faced a three-bet from Mark Johnston on the button, who had 9♠8♠. Tsouloftas called the bet of 3,000,000 chips and the flop of 10♠Q♦J♥ was spread.

Tsouloftas checked to Johnston, who continued for 2,100,000 chips. Tsouloftas instantly folded and a second consecutive pot was sent to Johnston.

Ninh Rivers Nuts

Frank Visser

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised his button to 1,200,000 with 9♥4♥ and Hiep Ninh called in the big blind with A♣10♠. Tsoulaftas continued for 800,000 on the 4♣Q♣7♥ flop and Ninh check-called.

The turn of 10♣ was knuckled down and so was the J♣ river. Ninh turned over his nut flush to rake in the pot, which elicited a smile from his opponent.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hiep Ninh	47,000,000 6,000,000	6,000,000
Georgios Tsouloftas	9,350,000 -3,650,000	-3,650,000

Tsouloftas Can Not Stop Losing

Frank Visser

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas limped in from the small blind with J♣4♣ and Mark Johnston checked 10♣7♠ in the big blind.

Tsouloftas then made the minimum bet of 600,000 on the 7♥9♠4♥ flop and received a call from Johnston. Tsouloftas sized up to 1,000,000 on the 9♦ turn, and yet again Johnston called.

Tsouloftas went back to a min-bet on the K♥ river, and Johnston flicked in the 600,000 chips without too much thought. He tabled his pair of sevens for the winning hand as Tsouloftas' cards once again hit the muck.

Mark Johnston	20,000,000

Georgios Tsouloftas Eliminated in 4th Place (€142,760)

Frank Visser

Level 38 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Hiep Ninh limped in from under the gun, Georgios Tsouloftas completed the small blind, and Mark Johnston checked in the big blind.

The flop fanned out 4♥A♦3♦ and Tsouloftas led out for 1,000,000. Johnston quickly folded, but Ninh raised to 3,000,000. Tsouloftas then jammed all in for 7,200,000 and Ninh quickly made the call.

Georgios Tsouloftas: 6♦5♠
Hiep Ninh: A♣K♠

Tsouloftas' straight draw was up against Ninh's top pair. Tsouloftas gained some outs when he paired on the 6♣ turn, but the K♦ river brought Ninh two pair to secure the elimination.
