Koutsouki Binks River to Chop After Drews Two-Outer
Maria Koutsouki opened to 1,000 under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet to 2,600 from Giuseppe Lorenzano. Oleg Drews cold-called in the next seat, and action folded back to Koutsouki.
She reached for chips and produced a four-bet to 8,000. Lorenzano folded but Drews called.
On the 9♣8♦7♣ flop, Koutsouki came out firing with a bet of 14,000, making it clear she was playing for stacks. Drews took some time before jamming for 36,000, and Koutsouki made the quick call.
Oleg Drews: 7♠7♥ 
Maria Koutsouki: Q♠Q♣
Drews was ahead with a set, and Koutsouki looked absolutely disgusted.
The 10♠ hit on the turn, and Koutsouki started calling for the jack for the chop. She got what she desired, but via the 6♠ river.
Koutsouki celebrated enthusiastically - "I've never been so pleased with a fucking chop", and Drews looked suitably sickened.
