No Flop Yet

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Since returning from the break the two players have yet to see flop. It seems as if they don't want to play post-flop and would rather play two card poker at this point.

We've Got a Flop

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Athanasios Polychronopoulos limped from the button and Simon Charette checked his option in the big blind. They went to the first flop of the level after 20 minutes of play. The flop came {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} and they both checked. The turn came {9-Diamonds} and Charette bet 285,000 and Polychronopoulos called. The river came {10-Diamonds} and Charette bet 725,000 and Polychronopoulos folded after a few moments.

Polychronopoulos Takes Huge Pot

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Simon Charette made it 400,000 to go from the button and Athanasios Polychronopoulos moved all in from the big blind. Charette let out a big sigh and muttered, "Wow, wow, wow."

Charette called and tabled {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} and Polychronopoulos held {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}. The board ran {J-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Polychronopoulos took a huge lead with a flopped set.

Charette was left with only 395,000 after the hand and Polychronopoulos had almost 10,000,000.
