1.2 Million Pot for Michailidis

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Right after the elimination of Loukas Kioutsoukis, Galustov and Michailidis played a big pot, with a total worth of 1.2 million chips.

We reached the table in the river with board showing {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Michailidis bet 300,000 with about 600,000 in the pot.

Galustov thought about it for a long time and made the call, but mucked when he saw the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} of Michailidis.

Loukas Kioutsoukis Eliminated in 5th Place (€6,120)

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Loukas Kioutsoukis
Loukas Kioutsoukis

Marios Tzakos opened to 85,000 from the cut-off and Loukas Kioutsoukis defended from the big blind.

The flop was {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn brought four cards for a straight on the board and Loukas Kioutsoukis bet 150,000.

Tzakos called and the river was the {7-Hearts}. Kioutsoukis checked and Tzakos announced all in, putting Kioutsoukis in the tank. He finally made the call and you could see the disappointment in his face when Tzakos opened {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Kioutsoukis showed that he had the lower straight with {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and went to the cashier.

Stryvakis Spikes Magic Turn to Double-Up

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Polykarpos Stryvakis was left with 470,000 chips after the previous pot and he put them in the middle two hands later from the button. Marcel Galustov was on the big blind and he called.

Stryvakis: {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Galustov: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board was {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} and Stryvakis is up to one million chips again.

Top Pair Good for Michailidis

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Polykarpos Stryvakis opened the action with a raise to 90,000 from the cut-off and Marcel Galustov called from the small blind. Dimitrios Michailidis was in the big blind and he made a three-bet to 330,000.

Stryvakis called, Galustov folded and the flop came {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The two players checked, as they did after the {7-Hearts} on the turn.

The {2-Spades} completed the board and the river and Michaidis bet 184,000. Stryvakis though about it for a bit and called, but he mucked when he saw the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} of his opponent.
