Top Pair No Good for Efthymiadis

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Georgios Efthymiadis jammed all-in for more than 20,000 over a bet from Spyridon Michailidis with the {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Spades} on the flop.

Michailidis called and turned over {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and was ahead of the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} held by his opponent. Neither the {6-Clubs} on the turn nor the {5-Hearts} on the river was able to save Efthymiadis and he hit the rail at least for now.

Koutoupas Loses a Postflop Flip

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Sotirios Koutoupas
Sotirios Koutoupas

Sotirios Koutoupas already headed back to the tournament desk to reenter for the fifth time this tournament and the second time on Day 1c.

A player opened for 1,100. Nikolaos Liavas three-bet from the button to 3,100 before he called a four-bet from Koutoupas from the small blind to 8,100.

Koutoupas bet 6,500 after the {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} came on the flop. Liavas raised to 14,000. Koutoupas three-bet jammed for more than 40,000 and got a call.

Sotirios Koutoupas: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Nikolaos Liavas {a-Clubs}{k-}

It was a flip on the flop but Koutoupas was drawing dead after the {10-Clubs} came on the turn to give his opponent a flush. A blank hit the river and Koutoupas headed to the tournament desk to reenter.

Meanwhile, after a short break, Marcel Galustov got back into the action.

Vutev Doubles

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Dimitrios Kanellopoulos
Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

A player opened to 2,200. Two players called including Dimitrios Kanellopoulos on the button. Momchil Vutev jammed for about 25,000. The first two players folded and Kanellopoulos called.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Momchil Vutev: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

It wasn't looking good for Kanellopoulos after the {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} came on the flop. However, the {5-Spades} on the turn gave him the straight and the {3-Diamonds} on the river gave him the double up.

At the same time on another table, Marcel Galustov hit the rail.
