Argyros Commanding the Table

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The action started with Billy Argyros limping into the pot before [Removed:17] raised it up to 220,000. Argyros made the call as both players watched the flop come down {4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

Argyros checked as Yan threw out a continuation bet of 190,000. The bet was called, before Argyros again checked when the {a-Clubs} fell on the turn. Yan reached for his chips and bet out 365,000. Argyros was quick to announce a raise, before sliding out an even million. Yan didn’t look too impressed as his cards flew into the muck.

Argyros Pushes Them Around

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Yan then three-bet to 475,000 from the small blind and Argyros made it 1,000,000. Yan quickly folded and more chips went to Argyros.

Argyros Gives Up on the River

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Bill Argyros opened to 200,000 from the button and was only called by Bowdy Tolhopf on the big blind.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} before Tolhopf led out for 125,000. Argyros made the call as both watched the {6-Hearts} fall on the turn. Tolhopf quickly bet out 210,000 which was called as the dealer produced the {8-Diamonds} on the river.

Tolhopf didn’t even hesitate, as he reached for his chips and slid out 750,000. Argyros was confused about the betting, as he released his hand almost immediately.

Argyros Doubles Again

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The action started with [Removed:17] limping into the pot from the button. Bowdy Tolhopf made the call from the small blind, before Billy Argyros raised it up to 380,000. Yan was not interested as his cards flew into the muck. Tolhopf then instantly moved all in and was snap called by Argyros before the cards were tabled.

Tolhopf: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Argyros: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Tolhopf had another chance to take out Argyros, even more so when the flop fell {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. However, the {k-Diamonds} paired up Argyros as he took the lead in the hand. Tolhopf was unable to find an ace on the river, as Argyros doubled up to 2,420,000 in chips.

Yan Wins a Nice One

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

When Billy Argyros folded the button, [Removed:17] would simply flat from the small blind. Bowdy Tolhopf checked out of the big and the dealer spread out a {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} flop.

Yan led for 90,000 here and Tolhopf called. On the {9-Clubs} turn, Yan led for 155,000 and Tolhopf min-raised to 310,000. Yan made the call and the dealer flipped over an {a-Hearts}.

This time both players checked. At showdown, Tolhopf tabled {j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, which went into the muck when Yan showed {j-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Argyros Lets It Go

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

[Removed:17] limped into the pot from the button and Billy Argyros checked as the two saw the flop come down {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Argyros checked his option, before Yan bet out 85,000. Argyros sat back in his chair, before raising it up to 250,000. Yan called as the {j-Spades} fell on the turn.

Yan instantly bet out 275,000 after his opponent checked, and waited for the next move. Argyros contemplated for over a minute before finally opting to lay down his hand.
