Balleur Takes Big Pot from Sotiropoulos
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With roughly 320,000 already in the middle and the flop reading 9♣2♦6♣, Gaetan Balleur fired for 175,000 from the cutoff. Georgios Sotiropoulos, seated on the button, made the call to keep things going.
The 10♠ landed on the turn, and Balleur kept up the pressure with a bet of 550,000. Sotiropoulos stuck around once again with another call.
The river brought the J♣, but this time Balleur checked it over to his opponent. Sotiropoulos went deep into the tank before sliding out a bet worth 1,220,000. Balleur didn’t need much time and snap-called.
Sotiropoulos revealed K♦10♦ for a pair of tens, but Balleur tabled 8♣7♣ for a rivered flush to scoop in a sizable pot.
