Kolonias Leaves Kaverman on Fumes
Heads-up on a flop of 2♥6♣6♠, Alexandros Kolonias bet 7,000 from early position and Byron Kaverman called under the gun.
The turn was the A♦ and Kaverman led out for 15,000. Kolonias called to the K♣ river, where Kaverman bet another 65,500, leaving himself just 3,000 behind.
Kolonias tanked for several minutes until a tablemate called the clock. The countdown had nearly reached zero before he put in the chips and Kaverman showed 7♦7♥. Kolonias turned over A♥J♥ and took the pot with two pair.
At another table, Aurimas Stanevicius had raised to 5,500 in early position, Sameer Chaturvedi shoved for 48,000 in the small blind, and Stanevicius called.
Sameer Chaturvedi: A♣J♦ 
Aurimas Stanevicius: A♠Q♣
Stanevicius had Chaturvedi dominated and the board came 8♠10♣5♣6♥4♠ to send Chaturvedi to the rail.
