Panagiotis Panagiotidis opened from the button to 90,000 before Achilleas Nomidis jammed his short stack of 495,000 from the big blind.

The action paused for about two minutes before Panagiotidis folded.

After the fold, Panagiotidis showed {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Nomidis showed his cards in return and had {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

"I would have called," said Rosen Simeonov to Panagiotidis.

Rosen Simeonov opened from the button to 60,000. Loukas Kioutsoukis jammed for 505,000 from the small blind and Simeonov made the quick call.

Loukas Kioutsoukis: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Rosen Simeonov: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

"Nice hand," Kioutsoukis said as both he and Simeonov got out of their chairs.

The {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop kept Kioutsoukis alive in the hand. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn added some outs for a chop. The {4-Diamonds} on the river didn't help Kioutsoukis and Simeonov won a big pot with a nut flush.

Kioutsoukis headed to the cashier to collect his sixth place prize of €4,170 after the hand. The remaining five players are all guaranteed a €5,250 payout.

Michailidis Lays Down a Straight

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Panagiotis Panagiotidis and Dimitrios Michailidis were heads-up to the {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop from the small blind and big blind.

The {5-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Panagiotidis bet 85,000. Michailidis tanked for a couple of minutes before he folded.
