Ramzi Jelassi just sent out a signal to the table and to Sotirios Koutoupas in particular.
The Swede opened to 100,000 from the button and called when Koutoupas three-bet to 255,000 from the big blind. The flop came and Koutoupas continued for 225,000. Jelassi called very quickly to see the turn.
Koutoupas checked and Jelassi smelt an opportunity and bet 400,000. The man from Greece took his time but had to admit defeat with a fold.
David Boyaciyan opened the betting with a raise to 100,000 from under the gun and he picked up two callers. The first was Sergey Kuzminskiy next to act, the second being the lion suit wearing Diego Gomez in the big blind.
The trio shared the flop, Gomez checked, Boyaciyan continued with a 120,000 bet and only Kuzminskiy called. So it was heads-up to the turn and Boyaciyan tapped the table and checked. Kuzminskiy bet 270,000 into the 605,000 pot and Boyaciyan released his hand.
Poor Ben Warrington looked in a world of pain, and all of it caused by chip leader, Ramzi Jelassi.
The Brit opened to 100,000 from under the gun and the action folded all the way around to Jelassi in the big blind who three-bet to 225,000. Warrington wasn't done with the hand and four-bet to 550,000 only for Jelassi to click it back to 815,000.
Warrington went into an epic tank that lasted more than five minutes. Any of the players could've called the clock but none of them wanted to be that person. Jelassi prompted him to make a decision and after a lot of procrastinating Warrington finally released his hand.
Ramzi Jelassi is past seven million chips and is in control here in Prague.

First to act was Mark Herm on the button and the American raised to 100,000. Aleh Plauski folded his small blind but the lion pyjamas wearing Diego Gomez in the big blind called.
