Sotiropoulos then led on the 2♥ turn for 2,500 and Moneymaker called.

On the 4♦ river, Sotiropoulos sized up to 11,000 much to the dismay of Moneymaker, who put his face in his hands before he held a small hand funeral and mucked.

The 10♠10♦5♦ flop checked through to the 6♠ turn which saw Lang check again to Kerber who bet 2,800. Radanov then cut out a raise to 11,000, which earned two quick folds from his opponent's as he chips up in the early proceedings.
