Altman's Stack Decimated

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Nick Georgoulas, known as Nick The Greek around this part of town and winner of a side event earlier this festival, just decimated Brian Altman's stack.

The two got it in before the flop and it proved a huge cooler. Georgoulas showed {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} to Altman's {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} board brought no help to Altman and he was down to just 20,000 or so.

Two hands later, Altman was all in while Richard Ashby just busted on the other table to send the tournament down to 6-handed play. Altman was all in for 18,000 from the hijack and some people tanked - not aware of the implications it seemed -, which guaranteed Altman the extra pay out.

Altman was eventually called by small blind Koray Aldemir who had {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Altman showed {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and doubled as the board came {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.
