AaronMcBride

Level 10 : 600/1,000, 1,200 ante

Leonidas Andriopoulos has just won a big pot after coming from behind spectacularly.

The flop came down and gave Andriopoulos a pair and some hope, and went the turn card was revealed to be the , he took the lead and held on the river to eliminate his opponent in unlikely fashion and moved up to 110,000 in the process.

"I Know How To Play"

Yori Epskamp

Level 10 : 600/1,000, 1,200 ante

Ludovic Geilich, who has already amassed a sizable stack of over 150,000, raised to 3,000 on the button and Alon Lang defended his big blind. On the flop, Lang checked, Geilich bet 4,000 and Lang called.

The turn brought the and Lang checked again. Geilich bet 7,500 and Lang wasted no time by check-raising all in for around 30,000. Geilich snap-folded his hand and Lang proudly slapped open on the felt.

Bolstered by the semi-bluff, the Israeli then proceeded to taunt Geilich for at least thirty seconds, including "I know how to play" and "I know how to bluff", among other things. Perhaps a tad baffled by the verbal tirade, Geilich still accepted it with a smile and forked over the chips.

One Hand, Four All-Ins!

Yori Epskamp

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Five players saw a flop together with around 11,000 in the middle. After three players checked, Andrea De Giorgio bet 7,000 from middle position, Lukasz Kubiczi called from the cutoff and Dimitrios Angeletopoulos called as well from the small blind.

The flop action wasn't done just yet as Leonid Orman, the initial raiser in early position, shoved all in for 20,000. De Giorgio came over the top for 23,000 total and Kubiczi also flung all his chips in, covering both players with 40,000 total.

With that, action was brought back to Angeletopoulos who also called all in (!), creating a four-way showdown with no fewer than three players at risk.

Dimitrios Angeletopoulos:
Leonid Orman:
Lukasz Kubiczi:
Andrea De Giorgio:

All four players had a legitimate reason to be involved and tried to win the hand with their respective holdings, although Kubiczi's outlook was beyond bleak due to De Giorgio's set, while Orman needed one of the remaining kings to survive.

The on the turn improved Angeletoupoulos to the nut straight and the on the river kept him in the lead. Kubizci was left short, while Orman and De Giorgio hit the rail.
