What Could Have Been...

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Miltiadis Kyriakides
Miltiadis Kyriakides

The action was joined on a A98 flop with roughly 14,000 in the middle.

The player in the big blind checked, as did Miltiadis Kyriakides, who was playing from early position. Action was then on Dustin Holladay, who placed a bet of 7,000. The big blind called, and Kyriakides hit them both with a perfectly executed check-raise.

Holladay took a minute or two, uncertain of what to do. He landed on a fold and returned his cards to the dealer.

The big blind folded almost straight away, and Kyriakides offered to show a card. The 6 was the exposed card to which Holladay said, "If he [the big blind] hadn't called, you and I were just getting it in".

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

King Ascends Late, Condemns Kanakopoulos to Rail

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Andrew King raised to 1,200, which Tarun Goyal called in the cutoff. Button Orestis Kanakopoulos then three-bet to 4,800, which King four-bet to 18,000.

Goyal had seen enough and quickly mucked his cards, but Kanakopoulos wanted to see a flop and called.

King slowed down on the 935 flop, checking it over to Kanakopoulos. Kanakopoulos bet 11,000, and King called.

The 10 turn saw Kanakopoulos size up to a hefty 34,000. Upon hearing the amount, King took off his sunglasses and spent a few minutes in contemplation. Eventually, he check-called to the 3 river, which he also checked.

Kanakopoulos piled in a bet of 74,500, which covered most of both players' stacks. King leaned back in his chair, repeating "I do not believe you" a few times before he spent some more time in the tank.

Eventually, King verbally announced a call. Kanakopoulos tabled 66 for a measly pair of sixes, which King royally beat with his AA. King shipped the massive pot and celebrated loudly, and Kanakopoulos could not help but smile as he paid his opponent off.

Kanakopoulos was left with about four big blinds, which he lost before the conclusion of Day 1d.

Curcio called to discover a flop of 93Q where he check-called a continuation bet to 11,000.

The turn was the 5 and Sindelar moved all-in. Curcio went deep into the tank but check-folded.

Toma Bombs the River on Palacios

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Bolacio Palacios raised to 1,300 in the hijack and Bradley Smith called in the cutoff. Tsugunari Toma then three-bet to 4,800 on the button and Palacios four-bet to 14,100. Smith folded, but Toma called to see the 844 flop.

Palacios continued for 3,300 and Toma called. Both players checked the A turn, and Palacios also checked the 7 river. Toma then bet 46,000.

Palacios took a minute before another player at the table called the clock. Palacios protested that he hadn't been given enough time, but the tournament official still started the 30-second countdown after arriving at the table. Palacios allowed the clock to run out before his hand was declared dead, and Toma took down the pot.
