Tsapkounis Straightens Cabret

On the first hand of heads-up play Joe Cabret raised the button to 300,000 and Con Tsapkounis made the call in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {K-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Tsapkounis checked to Cabret who fired 600,000. Tsapkounis made the call.

The players checked the turn {5-Clubs} and river {7-Diamonds} as Tsapkounis flipped {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for the rivered straight to better Cabret's {3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. First blood for Tsapkounis.
