Kontogiannis Sends Out Ko, RM Wants to "Hang With the Big Boys"
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Vasileios Kontogiannis raised to 2,500 under the gun and was called by RM in the hijack. Ming Ko then moved all in for 19,600 on the button and Kontogiannis called, while RM got out of the way.
Ming Ko: 3♣3♥ 
Vasileios Kontogiannis: A♠Q♥
Kontogiannis hit top pair on the A♦10♣2♠ flop to take the lead, and Ko couldn't catch up on the 5♠ turn or J♣ river as he was sent to the rail.
"Two sevens. If you fold, I call. I wanted to know if I could hang with the big boys," RM said to Kontogiannis after the hand.
