Sterlitz and Kelepouris Exchange Chips
Robert Kelepouris started the day with around 60,000 in chips, but has since seen that stack rise to almost 200,000. Most of those chips came courtesy of Daniel Strelitz and we were there to see how it all went down.
When we arrived at the table, the under the gun player had raised it up to 2,500 and five players had made the call until it was on Strelitz in the small blind. He raised it up to 9,200 and only Kelepuris would call the raise.
On the flop, Sterlitz led for 6,500 and Kelepuris raised it up to 13,100. Sterlitz made the call and an hit the turn. This time Sterlitz would check and then call when Kelepuris bet 16,500. The completed the board on the river, where Sterlitz checked and Kelepuris bet 24,500.
"Why so small?" Sterlitz said, more talking to himself than actually asking Kelepuris. Eventually Sterlitz made the call, at which point Kelepuris turned over for a flopped set - enough to sent Sterlitz's cards into the muck. Sterlitz informed the table that he was hoping someone would shove preflop, because he held pocket kings.
