Kiriopoulos Wins a Big One for the Chip Lead

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

There was a raise to 625 from under the gun, and Demosthenes Kiriopoulos called from the button, along with the big blind.

The flop came {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, and the big blind checked. The under-the-gun player bet 1,025, and Kiriopoulos called. The big blind also called, and the {10-Diamonds} came on the turn. The big blind checked again, and the under-the-gun player shoved all in for around 6,000. Kiriopoulos eyed up the stacks and thought for a couple moments before moving all in himself for over 15,000. The big blind quickly called for his remaining 13,500 chips, and the cards were tabled.

Kiriopoulos was out in front with {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, the big blind tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}, and the under-the-gun player showed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. The river was the {7-Diamonds}, and Kiriopoulos knocked out both opponents and scooped a huge pot to move among the early chip leaders.

Helppi in Charge

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action was on Juha Helppi, in the small blind, who was facing a raise of 550. Helppi three-bet to 1,650, and his opponent called.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Helppi led out for 1,500. His opponent thought for a couple minutes with a confused look on his face but eventually mucked his cards. Helppi took down the pot just before the break.

Meanwhile, David Williams, a few tables away, was raking in a monster pot after making a set of eights and now sits with a mound of chips and near the top of the leaderboard.
