Kolkowicz Rivers Full House to Eliminate L'Hostis

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jerome L'Hostis
Jerome L'Hostis

Jerome L'Hostis has been the first player above one million chips, but this has now been reduced to zero after a big clash with Michael Kolkowicz.

It was L'Hostis that raised from under the gun and Kolkowicz called from one seat over, Raffaele Sorrentino also called in the big blind. On the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} flop, Sorrentino checked and so did L'Hostis. Kolkowicz bet 44,000 and that resulted in a fold from Sorrentino and a call from L'Hostis.

Kolkowicz checked the stack of his opponent before the {5-Hearts} fell on the turn, and L'Hostis then checked. Kolkowicz made it 100,000 to go and faced the check-raise all in for 308,000 by L'Hostis soon after. It took more than two minutes and Kolkowicz then called while saying "I know I am behind, but there are too many chips in the middle" in French.

Jerome L'Hostis: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Michael Kolkowicz: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The {J-Hearts} fell on the river to give Kolkowicz a full house and he regained the lead from table neighbor Stefan Schillhabel.
