Kotoumpas More Than Doubles Up

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Georgios Kotoumpas opened the action to 2,500 from early position, and Marcel Lopko called from his direct left. When the action reached Fintan Gavin in the small blind, he put out a three-bet of 7,900, and both of his opponents called.

With more than 25,000 in the middle, the flop came out 2♦J♠K♣, and Gavin continued his aggression with a bet of 5,500. Kotoumpas and Lopko both called.

The turn brought the 10♦, and this time Gavin checked. Kotoumpas announced all in, and Lopko snap called. Gavin quickly folded.

Georgios Kotoumpas: A♦Q♣ All in
Marcel Lopko: 10♣J♣

The turn gave Lopko two pair, but Kotoumpas hit a straight, which held up as the winning hand after the dealer revealed the 7♦ on the river and Kotoumpas scooped the massive pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Christiaan Coppoolse raised to 1,700 from middle position and Koyes Miah, in the hijack, three-bet to 4,600. Przemyslaw Cebrat, in the small blind, placed 1,700 across the line, thinking he was only calling Coppoolse's raise and was unaware of the three-bet in place.

The floor ruled Cebrat could either surrender the 1,700 or call Miah's three-bet; he chose to do the latter.

Coppoosle elected to move all in for around 35,000, earning two quick folds.

Christiaan Coppoolse	44,000 44,000	44,000
