Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Sokratis Oikonomou was all-in for 15,000, and had received two customers in John Kelly and Kosmas Barakos.
The 7♦5♦4♦ flop was checked by the active players to the 3♦ turn, where Kelly jammed for 53,000.
Barkos went deep into thought, and after about two minutes made the call.
Sokratis Oikonomou: A♠5♥ 
Kosmas Barakos: 9♠9♣
John Kelly: Q♠10♠
Remarkably, no-one had a diamond, and Barakos' nines were ahead of Oikonomou's pair of fives.
The 8♥ river was a brick, and Barakos celebrated holding by standing up and pumping his fists.
