Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Christopher Kostoulas - 20th Place
Christopher Kostoulas - 20th Place

Christopher Kostoulas was all in from the big blind for what looked like about 340,000 when we got to his table. He was at risk against Kami Hudson in the small blind.

Hudson: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Kostoulas: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The flop brought {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, giving some help to Kostoulas with a flush draw. Red bricks fell on the turn ({j-Diamonds}) and river ({7-Diamonds}) though, and Hudson eliminated Kostoulas.

Buddiga Takes Huge Pot from Rosenberg

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Two players limped in, and Ron Rosenberg raised to 60,000 in the small blind. Ryan Leng, who limped under the gun, called, as did Pratyush Buddiga on the button. Rosenberg bet 100,000 on the {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, and Buddiga was the only taker. Buddiga called another barrel of 225,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn, then both checked the {6-Spades} river.

Rosenberg rolled over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, but Buddiga had outflopped him with {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and took the pot.

Frank folded and showed the {4-Clubs} saying, “So bad, playing ranges.”

Sotiropoulos Chases Two

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Georgios Sotiropoulos (small blind), Luigi Curcio (big blind) and Ronald Massetti (middle position) saw a {3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop in a hand that stretched well into the break. Everyone checked, and the {7-Hearts} arrived on the turn. Sotiropoulos bet out 74,000 and got two calls. On the {4-Clubs} river, he fired again for what looked like 280,000. Curcio tanked a bit and folded, and Massetti quickly followed suit.
