The blinds folded and Stavridis shoved all in for 241,000. Matas Cimbolas tanked for some time, inquired how much Lepore had behind (650,000, a massive stack) and eventually moved in.
"How much you playing?" Lepore instantly asked.
"I cover," is all Cimbolas answered.
Eventually, Lepore tossed his cards into the muck, claiming to fold

on the turn definitely did. Stavridis hit top set while Cimbolas picked up a flush draw.
The river 
was a blank and Stavridis doubled up.
