Modena Gets There to Leave Mavromoustakis With Fumes
Andreas Mavromoustakis made it 800,000 to go from middle position and Italo Modena three-bet to 2,300,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Mavromoustakis, he called to see a flop.
The dealer put out a board of Q♣5♥6♦, prompting Mavromoustakis to check. Modena slid out a bet of 2,200,000, which Mavromoustakis quickly called.
Mavromoustakis knuckled the table again on the 2♥ turn and Modena bet again, this time for 2,800,000. Mavromoustakis thought briefly and then made the call.
The river was the 3♣ and Mavromoustakis checked for the last time. Modena fired out a third barrel of 10,000,000, which caused Mavromoustakis to go into the tank. Mavromoustakis only had around 12,500,000 remaining in hist stack, and after doing some inventory and burning through a few time banks, Mavromoustakis made the call.
Medona turned over Q♥4♥ for top pair that made a straight by the river. Mavromoustakis began muttering to himself in his native tongue as the huge pot was sent over to Modena.
