River Saves Kyritsis
Level 21
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
George Kyritsis checked the 6♠9♣6♣ flop from the big blind, and Jyrki Hilakari bet 50,000 on the button. Kyritsis then check-raised to 150,000, and Hilakari announced all in.
Kyritsis quickly called, and the hands were turned up.
George Kyritsis: 6♥4♦
Jyrki Hilakari: A♦6♦
Both players revealed trip sixes, and the 8♠ turn left Hilakari in position for the knockout. The table then reacted as the 8♥ hit the river, leaving both players with the same full house to chop the pot.
