Stanislav Tryska opened 5,000 in middle position and only Michel Karim came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♠8♠4♠, and Karim check-called a bet of 4,000.
The 8♦ turn was checked through to see the 6♠ river. Karim checked once more and Tryska flung a bet of 13,000 into the middle.
Karim went into the tank for some time, eventually grabbing the 13,000. As he did, Tryska looked back at his hand and Karim paused. A few more seconds went by before Karim pushed his cards toward the dealer.

It was all action preflop as Eleftherios Papangelis opened to 6,500 from the cutoff and saw the button call. Konstantinos Markakis then raised in the small blind to 22,000. The big blind quickly got out of the way, before Papangelis called and the button also folded - taking it two ways to the flop.
The flop came 2♦8♣10♠, and saw both players check.
A Q♦ turn sparked more action, as Markakis check-called a bet of 22,000 from Papangelis.
Both players checked it on the Q♠ river and it went to showdown. Papangelis showed the A♣K♥, while Markakis took the pot, tabling a pair of nines.

Xanthopoulos tanked a bit but eventually stuck in a call. Oberliessen turned over Q♥J♥ for a bluff and Xanthopoulos tabled 7♠6♠ for a winning two pair to take down the monster pot.
