Symeon Alexandridis raised to 11,000 in middle position and Dmitry Gromov called in the hijack before Mihai Niste three-bet to 40,000 in the cutoff. Only Alexandridis called.
Niste bet another 30,000 on the 8♦8♠7♠ flop and Alexandridis called. Alexandridis then led out for 18,000 on the 5♠ turn and Niste called.
The river was the 6♠ and Alexandridis bet 20,000. Niste snap-called and Alexandridis showed 4♦4♥ for a straight. Niste, though, had Q♠Q♦ for a flush to win the pot.
At the same time at another table, George Rabahie bet 115,000 from middle position on a completed board of 4♠7♥A♥7♠6♠. Iraklis Manikaros then raised to 431,000 in the cutoff.
Rabahie spent several minutes in the tank but eventually called as Manikaros showed A♣A♠ for a full house. Rabahie mucked and Manikaros took down the massive pot.
