Christoforou Takes Back the Chip Lead

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Liran Twito called on the button and Andreas Christoforou checked after having won the last few hands with quick bets and small raises preflop.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, Christoforou check-called the 800,000 bet of Twito.

The turn was the {a-Spades}, Christoforou checked again and Twito now bet 2,500,000 which Christoforou called.

The river completed the board with the {7-Clubs} on which they both checked. Twito tabled {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} but Christoforou picked up the pot with {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the flopped pair of eights which he improved to two pair on the turn.
