Stavrakis and Rasmussen Chop it Up

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Thayer Rasmussen
Thayer Rasmussen

Thayer Rasmussen bet pot, which was 84,000, with 5,000 behind. When the action folded to Filippos Stavrakis he asked how much Rasmussen had behind and called the bet. The rest of the players folded and Stavrakis wanted to open up his cards, but got stopped by the dealer since Rasmussen was not all-in just yet.

The final 5,000 went to the middle on the {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. Rasmussen was holding {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades} and it wasn't looking too pretty against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts} of Stavrakis.

The board ran out {7-Spades} {6-Spades} and the dealer chopped up the pot.

Filippos Stavrakis opened to 55,000 from the cutoff and Peter Klein potted to 201,000 from the small blind, with 36,000 left behind. Stavrakis moved all in and Klein called with his last 36,000. Players then flipped over their hands.

Peter Klein: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Filippos Stavrakis: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Klein's flopped set of aces took down the pot. Stavrakis has now lost the last four hands he has played during this round of blinds.

The final seven players have restarted the tournament on one of the outer tables of the PokerGO stage. Filippos Stavrakis still has an overwhelming chip lead.

The next pay jump is worth $7,180 since the seventh place will pay out $20,957 and the sixth-place finisher will collect $28,137.

Thayer Rasmussen

Pascal Damois limped and saw Thayer Rasmussen go all-in for 47,000. Jordan Siegel called from the big blind and Damois called as well.

Damois bet 65,000 on the {2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs} board and Siegel folded {K-}{K-} face up.

Pascal Damois: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Thayer Rasmussen: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}

The board ran out {A-Spades} and {8-Hearts} and that gives Rasmussen the triple up, while Damois and Siegel lose some chips.

Siegel Eclipses Million Mark, Now Second at Final Table

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Jordan Siegel
Jordan Siegel

Jordan Siegel went on a little heater, picking up a few small pots right after eliminating Georgios Karavokyris from the final table.

Siegel opened to 45,000 from under the gun and Filippos Stavrakis called from the hijack. The flop came down {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and Siegel then check-called a bet of 55,000 from Stavrakis.

The turn fell the {9-Spades} and both players checked. The river came the {3-Hearts} and both players checked again. Siegel tabled {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for two pair and Stavrakis then mucked his hand.

Stavrakis Abuses With His Big Stack

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Filippos Stavrakis is dominating the tournament at the moment. He just won a couple pots in a row and is applying a lot of pressure on his opponents.

In the last victory for Stavrakis, Pascal Damois raised to 45,000 and Stavrakis called from the big blind. The flop was {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and both players put in another 50,000. The turn was the {J-Spades} and both players checked. As did they on the {7-Clubs} river.

Stavrakis opened up {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a flush and that won him the pot.

Georgios Karavokyris Eliminated in 8th Place ($15,832)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Georgios Karavokyris
Georgios Karavokyris

Jordan Siegel opened to 50,000 from the button and Georgios Karavokyris then jammed for around 160,000. Siegel called and players then turned over their hands.

Jordan Siegel: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Georgios Karavokyris: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came out {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Karavokyris was still behind. The {7-Clubs} came on the turn and was of no help to him as he would need to hit still. The river came the {8-Spades} and Siegel's aces held on for the pot, eliminating Karavokyris.
