Baran Gambles to Win Huge Pot

[user22113]

On a

{J-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

flop, Marcel Baran and Phidias Georgiou got it all in.

{J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

for Georgiou.
{K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

for Baran.

The {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

on the turn meant that the Cypriot was looking very good to extend his chip lead, but the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

popped up on the river.

A brutal hit for the Cypriot.

On the next hand however, he open-shoved for 114,000. Surinder Sunar, obviously suspecting Georgiou might be having a meltdown, called with {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

in the big blind, but was surprised to find himself up against {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

. He got no help on the flop and Sunar lost a large chunk of his stack.
