The player under the gun limped and another two players called as well, before action got to Georgios Zisimopoulos in the small blind. Zisimopoulos, who finished runner-up in this very event last year (€178,616), raised to 1,025. The big blind folded, the player under the gun called, one player folded and another called.

Three players to the flop of {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Zisimopoulos bet 1,025. Under the gun raised to 2,100, prompting a fold from the player in the middle. Zisimopoulos called.

Zisimopoulos lead for 3,500 on the {J-Diamonds} turn and his opponent called. Zisimopoulos, again, lead for 3,500 as the {7-Clubs} completed the board. His opponent shoved all in for about 20,000 or so and Zisimopoulos leaned back in his chair.

He tanked for quite a bit and one player asked for the clock. The brush, who had been standing by, alerted Zisimopoulos he had a minute to act on his hand.

"Ten, nine, eight" the floor announced, "seven, six, five..."

With four seconds left, Zisimopoulos tossed in two chips to indicate he was calling. The player under the gun showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, Zisimopoulos quickly turned over {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for the winning set. The player under the gun made his exit, Zisimopoulos started building his chip castle.
