Tsouloftas' Pair Holds Up
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Georgios Tsouloftas just stacked his table neighbor to bring his stack north of 300,000.
The action was picked up on the flop of 4♣2♥J♥ with Pavel Tomashchuk committing his stack of over 100,000 to the pot, and being put at risk by by Tsouloftas.
Pavel Tomashchuk: A♥3♥ 
Georgios Tsouloftas: 6♥4♥
Both had flush draws but it was the pair of Tsouloftas that gave him the big advantage going to the turn and river. The turn was red, but the Q♦ was the wrong suit for Tomashchuk, who had just one chance left to improve.
Though he did improve on the 3♣ river, his pair of threes weren't enough to keep him alive, leaving him on the rail and giving Tsouloftas the pot.
