Koutoupas Rivers an Ace

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Sotirios Koutoupas opened on the button and then called when Aleh plauski three-bet from the big blind. Plauski lead out with a 150,000 bet on the {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and Koutoupas called.

The {6-Hearts} turn slowed down both players and they checked, which is what happened when the {a-Hearts} fell on the turn.

Plauski turned over {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} but lost to the {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} of Koutoupas.

Jelassi Continues To Climb

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Ramzi Jelassi is past seven million chips and is in control here in Prague.

David Boyaciyan opened to 100,000 in early position and Jelassi called from the cutoff. The dealer put the {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop into play and Boyaciyan set the price to play at 115,000, but Jelassi had other ideas and he raised to 290,000. Boyaciyan quickly called and the {A-Spades} arrived on the turn.

Boyaciyan checked the turn and Jelassi checked behind. The {5-Hearts} river saw Boyaciyan bet 360,000 and after a brief pause Jelassi called.

Boyaciyan said he only held a pair of sixes and he mucked, leaving Jelassi to pick up the pot and muck his own hand.

Jelassi Puts Warrington Through the Ringer

Poor Ben Warrington looked in a world of pain, and all of it caused by chip leader, Ramzi Jelassi.

The Brit opened to 100,000 from under the gun and the action folded all the way around to Jelassi in the big blind who three-bet to 225,000. Warrington wasn't done with the hand and four-bet to 550,000 only for Jelassi to click it back to 815,000.

Warrington went into an epic tank that lasted more than five minutes. Any of the players could've called the clock but none of them wanted to be that person. Jelassi prompted him to make a decision and after a lot of procrastinating Warrington finally released his hand.

Kuzminskiy Takes Down a Large Pot

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

David Boyaciyan opened the betting with a raise to 100,000 from under the gun and he picked up two callers. The first was Sergey Kuzminskiy next to act, the second being the lion suit wearing Diego Gomez in the big blind.

The trio shared the {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Spades} flop, Gomez checked, Boyaciyan continued with a 120,000 bet and only Kuzminskiy called. So it was heads-up to the {2-Spades} turn and Boyaciyan tapped the table and checked. Kuzminskiy bet 270,000 into the 605,000 pot and Boyaciyan released his hand.

Jelassi Stretches Lead

Ramzi Jelassi just sent out a signal to the table and to Sotirios Koutoupas in particular.

The Swede opened to 100,000 from the button and called when Koutoupas three-bet to 255,000 from the big blind. The flop came {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Koutoupas continued for 225,000. Jelassi called very quickly to see the {5-Clubs} turn.

Koutoupas checked and Jelassi smelt an opportunity and bet 400,000. The man from Greece took his time but had to admit defeat with a fold.

Plauski Wins Another Pot

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Aleh Plauski opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and his only customer was the Dutchman David Boyaciyan in the small blind. The pair saw the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{A-Spades} flop come down, and Boyaciyan check-called a 90,000 continuation bet.

The turn saw a second ace fall, the {a-Diamonds} and both players checked its arrival. Boyaciyan checked as the {j-Hearts} fell on the river, but Plauski bet 220,000 and it was enough to win the pot.
