Huge Clash Gives Karakousis a Monster Lead

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Georgios Karakousis

Georgios Karakousis raised to 80,000 from under the gun plus three and Ludovic Geilich three-bet to 170,000 from the button. These players clashed before in a huge pot and it seemed like they were bound to clash again.

Karakousis put in a four-bet to 380,000 and put the pressure back on Geilich. We all know Geilich hates folding and he made the call.

The flop brought {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Karakousis grabbed chips betting 300,000. Geilich hardly wasted any time and made the call.

On the turn the {A-Diamonds} hit and Karakousis went into the tank for quite a while with more than 1.4 million chips already in the pot. Finally the Greek player bet 450,000 and the pressure was back on Geilich who quickly called again!

The river was the {Q-Spades} and Karakousis checked to Geilich quickly bet 750,000. Karakousis had 2.2 million chips left and sighed before making the call.

Geilich confidently turned over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for a rivered set but that was not good enough. Karakousis showed his {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and with top set he took down the pot boosting his stack up to 5.3 million!
