Julian Gets Some Back!

[user50492]

In a raised pot, Julian bets 80,000 on the {J-Clubs}

flop which Kalo calls. They both check the {9-Clubs}

turn but Kalo bets out 70,000 on the {J-Spades}

river. Julian makes the call asking, "Did you river me again?" Julian shows {A-Hearts}

which beats the {K-Spades}

of Kalo.

First Blood To Kalo!

[user50492]

Denes Kalo has won two reasonable sized pots with big bets on the river to make the chip counts almost equal.

The players are on a short break before heads up play begins.

Julian Thew is the most experienced of the two players; this is his third EPT final table and he won the Plymouth GUKPT event two weeks ago. He is a professional tournament poker player from Nottingham in the UK. He is 40 in a few days time and when he turned pro his aim was to pay off his mortgage by then. He was $20,000 short when he entered this contest but if he wins he can pay it off and maybe buy a holiday home somewhere for cash, too!

Denes Kalo is a sales manager from Budapest, Hungary. This is not his first final table in a major event. He was the runner-up in the €3000 EPM in Vienna last year. The €50,000 he won then is chicken feed to either of the prizes up for grabs when play restarts here.

The winner will get €670,800 whilst the runner up will get €375,000.

Julian has 1,800,000 to Denes's 1,000,000 chips.
