Gkatzas Grabs Table Lead
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ding Fan raised his small blind to 180,000. Dimitrios Gkatzas called in the big blind and called when Fan bet 150,000 on the 5♥Q♣K♥ flop.
Fan increased his sizing to 450,000 on the 2♠ turn. Gkatzas kept sticking around with another call, after which the J♠ river checked to showdown.
Fan tabled A♥9♠ for ace-high, but Gkatzas had rivered a pair with his J♥9♥ to be awarded the sizable pot.
