Zisimopoulos With a Big Call
"Stop taking my money Pierre," Carlo Savinelli grinned after having just lost a minor pot against the Belgian. Right after, Oleksandr Shcherbak raised to 48,000 and Neuville called from the small blind, as did Georgios Zisimopoulos in the big blind.
The flop fell 
and Neuville checked, Zisimopoulos bet 40,000 and Neuville was the only caller. Both checked through the 
turn before the 
river brought a possible four card straight. Neuville bet 210,000 and that sent Zisimopoulos into the think tank, as the betting amount represented half of his remaining stack.
"I have a big hand," Zisimopoulos said in table chat while Neuville just smiled back. It needed some further consideration and the Greek eventually called. Neuville rolled over 
and Zisimopoulos had that beat with 
for two pair to rake in a vital pot.
