Huge Chip Swing

Con Tsapkounis raised to 50,000 from the button and then James Kronos put almost his entire stack into the middle when he reraised to 210,000. Tsapkounis thought about his decision for a minute before making the call.

Tsapkounis was left with about 50,000 chips and Kronos with about 24,000 when the flop was dealt out {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} {2-Hearts}. Kronos put in his last 24,000 and Tsapkounis matched it.

Tsapkounis: {4-Spades} {4-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {3-Spades}
Kronos: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

The turn was the {2-Spades} and Tsapkounis looked to see if his spades would be good if he hit, but then checked Kronos' cards to see that he held two higher spades.

The river was the {K-Hearts} and the massive pot was awarded to James Kronos, leaving Tsapkounis severely short stacked.
