Kropmanns Stands Up Prematurely, Finds His Ace
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Georgios Vakis raised to 85,000 on the button before Ramon Kropmanns moved all in for 590,000 in the small blind. Vakis turned around to look at the tournament clock and see how many players were remaining before calling.
Ramon Kropmanns: A♠5♠
Georgios Vakis: 10♦10♥
Kropmanns stood up from his seat and put on his backpack when he saw Vakis' pocket pair. The flop, though, brought 9♣A♥4♣ and Kropmanns hit top pair to take the lead.
The board ran out J♠7♣ and Kropmanns doubled up, Vakis slamming his chips on the table in frustration as he paid him off.
