We caught the action on the turn with a big pot brewing between Nick ‘the Greek’ Georgoulas and Koray Aldemir.
With the board reading 
Aldemir checked the action over to Georgoulas who led out for 70,000.
Aldemir check-raised all in for another 389,000 more and Gregoulas sat back in his chair and looked over at the German player.
“Got a king have ya?” questioned Gregoulas before announcing the call.
Nick Georgoulas: 
Koray Aldemir: 
Aldemir, with a set of fours, had Georgoulas drawing dead and guaranteed himself the double to 785,000 when a meaningless 
hit the river to drop Georgoulas down to 800,000.
