Romanello Removes Rizos

Stelios Rizos raised to 4,500, Roberto Romanello called in the small blind and Koen de Visscher called in the big blind. The flop was {10-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} and Romanello checked to De Visscher who bet 7,700. The original raiser was next to act and he moved all-in for around 35,000. Roberto Romanello had a big decision to make and after several minutes thought he also moved all-in. Romanello had transferred his problem to De Visscher who was also now deep in thought. He eventually folded his hand and we had a showdown with Rizos at risk of elimination.

Romanello{A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Rizos{A-Spades} {10-Spades}

The turn sealed the fate of Rizos - {7-Hearts} - and he was sent to the rail.

Elyashar Moving Up

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

David Elyashar had fired out 10,500 on a flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} against Ioannis Papathanasioy and Christopher Lastiwka but both players called to see the {A-Clubs} turn.

Elyashar fired 15,500 this and Papathanasioy folded but Lastiwka gave it some serious thought.

"I call," Elyashar.

"You call what?" replied Lastiwka, with a slightly confused laugh.

Lastiwka made the call to see the {8-Hearts} river and Elyashar moved all in, the Canadian nodded and eventually folded. Elyashar showed him the {7-Spades}

Grigoropoylos Wins a Four Bet Pot

Georgios Grigoropoylos raised to 5,100 in the cutoff seat and Stelios Drosos three-bet to 13,300 on the button. The blinds decided they would rather watch than play and Grigoropoylos four-bet to 25,600. Drosos called very quickly and the two of them saw a four-bet flop. The dealer handed us the {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} and Grigoropoylos bet 27,100 and Drosos folded instantly.
