Two In a Row for Kiriopoulos

Level 11 : 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos knocked out a shorter stack with {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} versus {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} when the board ran out {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Shortly after, he opened and then four-bet jammed into Imad Saab, who called it off in a flip.

Imad Saab: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Saab took the lead on the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop but the {j-Spades} turn restored the preflop order. Nothing changed on the {9-Diamonds} river and Kiriopoulos made it two knockouts in a row.

Yukselir Eliminated by Koyun

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Umit Yukselir was one of many Day 2 entries and got his stack in preflop with the {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Abbas Koyun had that dominated with the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and the kicker played a pivotal role. On a board of {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, the ace-king high prevailed and Koyun added to his stack.

On his table, he now only trails Bora Kurtulus who possesses an even bigger stack.

Any Donkeys Around?

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

While the hand played out and Alexandru Grigorie check-called the {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Spades} turn for 17,000, Neshan Khourshoudian and Matas Cimbolas were engaged in table chat. Cimbolas left up for guessing where he was from and then concluded that he might be a donkey.

Khourshoudian insisted that donkeys are smart animals that learn quickly, for Cimbolas to figure out who the biggest donkey in the room might be. The hand also had an end, as Grigorie checked through the {6-Hearts} river and the Romanian won the pot with the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the second pair.

Shashikhina Flipped Out by Birizdo

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina
Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina

A squeeze to 32,000 was in front of Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina and she then called all-in for around 150,000 in total when Istvan Birizdo moved all-in.

Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Istvan Birizdo: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop and {5-Hearts} turn were blanks. However, the dreadful {a-Diamonds} fell on the river to send Shashikhina to the rail.

Madanzhiev Below the Starting Stack

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The cutoff opened to 6,500 and Stoyan Madanzhiev three-bet to 23,000 in the small blind. Mehmet Samsa then four-bet to 75,000 in the big blind and two quick folds followed.

"Bravo," Selahaddin Bedir stated while fellow countryman Samsa raked in the pot. Madanzhiev has dropped to fewer than the starting stack and will need to chip up soon.
