Cotaidis Eliminated

Preflop, George Cotaidis limped from the cutoff before the player on the button raised to 525. The blinds folded and Cotaidis made the call.

The flop was {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Cotaidis led out for 600. His opponent moved all in and Cotaidis snap-called with {8-Hearts}{6-Spades} for the flopped straight. However, the turn was devastating for him as his opponent held {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for a better straight.

The river bricked the {2-Diamonds} to leave Cotaidis with only 200 in chips.

A few minutes later Cotaidis was eliminated after his {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} were run down by the {8-Spades}{6-Spades} of Monica Zbrodoff on a board of {10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.
