Sotiropoulos Jams Into Desnos

Level 9 : 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 80,000 already in the middle and the turn showing {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Killian Desnos checked. Georgios Sotiropoulos moved all-in for 67,900 and the Frenchman asked for a count.

"I don't have the king. I have a pocket, queens," Desnos said in table chat. Sotiropoulos was not convinced by that and the Frenchman then folded, waiting to see one card.

He revealed the {q-Clubs} and then eventually also exposed the {j-Spades} with a grind. "I am an actor," he said in chat. Sotiropoulos only showed on card and that was the {a-Diamonds}. Despite this minor setback, Desnos is still on track for the overnight lead on Day 1a.

Biz's Stack Gets Chopped Up

Level 9 : 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mustafa Biz
Mustafa Biz

Mustafa Biz raised to 6,000 and found action behind as Danut Chisu and Bakhos Joumaa reraised. Biz jammed, as did Chisu, and Joumaa called it off as the biggest stack of the trio.

Mustafa Biz: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Danut Chisu: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Bakhos Joumaa: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and the off suit ace on the river sent Biz to the rail.

Desnos Doesn't Have Two Pair

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a three-way flop of {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}, Killian Desnos bet 12,000 and was called by the cutoff and Matthias Lipp in the big blind. The {q-Hearts} fell on the turn and Lipp checked. Desnos quickly bet 45,000 and the cutoff folded. Lipp was in the tank and also let go after some small talk with the Frenchman.

"I have two pair," Desnos announced and flashed the {8-Hearts}. He then also flipped over the {8-Clubs} for a full house and continues to be the runaway chip leader.
