Whitehead Among First Eliminations
Level 1
: 100/100, 100 ante
Gary Trainor limped in early position, seeing Emmanouil Fountoulakis bump it up to 700 in middle position. Ryan Straub called in the cutoff before Gary Whitehead committed his last 2,900 on the button.
Georgios Bimperis then four-bet to 5,000 in the big blind, which only Fountoulakis called.
Bimperis check-called Fountoulakis' bets of 3,500 on the K♠9♥8♦ flop and 5,200 on the 4♥ turn before the 9♠ river was checked to showdown.
Bimperis tabled A♦K♥ for kings and nines, besting the Q♠Q♥ of Fountoulakis and the A♥J♣ of Whitehead to drag the sizable pot.
Over at another table, Alain Riss was spotted with over double the starting stack, worth over 1,000 big blinds at this point.
