The action folded back to Talebi who reraised to 90,000. Tsikopoulos then moved all in for 182,000, and Talebi burned through a few time banks before calling.

Tsikopoulos showed 22, while Talebi was on straight and flush draws holding 65. The 7 river gave Talebi his straight and sent Tsikopoulos to the rail.

"I knew you had nothing," Tsikopoulos told him.

"You want to be up against this nothing?" Talebi replied.

"Yes, gladly," Tsikopoulos added as he went off to the payout desk.
