Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The latter went into the tank as if he had limped a big hand but after staring Koren down he relinquished his hand.
Koren: 
Georgoulas: 
“Ace on the flop!” cried one of Koren’s supporters on the rail, and he got his wish as the dealer fanned out 
. Georgoulas couldn’t find a jack on the 
turn or 
river to see Koren secure the double up.
