Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Ion Albu opened to 105,000 and Christopher Kyriacou moved all in for 460,000 from the button.

Back to Albu who was giving it serious thought.

"I'll show you," Kyriacou told him, "I need a double up. You don't need to show, I'll show you."

"I should never fold here." Albu said but he did.

Kyriacou as good as his word showed and Albu showed his own .

Action on Table 2

[user252447]

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Christopher Kyriacou has just doubled through Phi Bang Vo with Tens versus Ace-Queen.

There was then one million chips in the middle on the river of a board reading and first to act Phi Bang Vo moved all in. Action was on Ion Albu and he was risking his tournament life if he called.

“I think my ace king is not good here,” Albu said. He thought for a bit longer before letting his cards go and the discussion on how the hand played out went on a bit longer which irritated Kyriacou who is not a big fan of table strategy talk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Phi Bang Vo	3,900,000 -600,000	-600,000
Vincent Anderson	2,400,000 -200,000	-200,000
Ion Albu	1,500,000 -700,000	-700,000
Christopher Kyriacou	560,000 -10,000	-10,000
