Tsapkounis opened with a raise to 11,000 from the hijack position and an opponent came over the top with a 30,000 three-bet. Tsapkounis made the call and the two saw a {4-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

flop, which, under most circumstances would've been golden for Tsapkounis who held the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

. As fate would have it, his opponent held pocket aces and called Tsapkounis' all-in bet on the flop. The turn and river blanked out {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

,

{2-Diamonds}

and the aces held to eliminate Tsapkounis from Event 1.
