Gyorgy Pulls Away

Level 32 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Simon Gyorgy opened to 800,000 from the button and called the 2,000,000 three-bet from Chris Da Silva in the big blind.

The duo also collided a few hands later. Chris Da SIlva opened to 800,000 from the small blind and Gyorgy called from the big blind. On the {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop, Da Silva check-called a bet of 500,000. On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Da Silva check-called a bet of 1,400,000.

Da Silva checked once again on the {7-Spades} river. Gyorgy bet 3,000,000 and Da Silva called. Gyorgy rolled his {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and scooped with two pair.

Level 32 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Georgios Ninis
Georgios Ninis

Georgios Ninis opened to 600,000 from the small blind and Simon Gyorgy called from the big blind.

Ninis fired for 450,000 on the {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and was called. Ninis then checked on the {5-Spades} turn. Simon Gyorgy bet 400,000 and then Ninis made it 1,400,000. Gyorgy then moved all-in over the top for 7,675,000. Ninis, who was only just the shorter stack, called.

Georgios Ninis: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Simon Gyorgy: {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Ninis was on the verge of a huge double but the {10-Spades} river improved Gyorgy to a full house. The chips were counted once again to make sure who covered who. It was confirmed Ninis has the smaller chip count and he was eliminated in sickening fashion.
