Paleologos Soars to the Top; Cabitza Bins Kings Preflop
Andreas Paleologos opened to 30,000 from under the gun before Gianluca Cabitza three-bet to 105,000 from the hijack. The action folded to Deividas Butnoras in the big blind, who made it 265,000.
Paleologos paused for a few moments before moving all in. Cabitza showed clear frustration at the spot and appeared to make a reluctant fold. Butnoras was also not too thrilled but did call after around 30 seconds.
Andreas Paleologos: A♠A♣
Deividas Butnoras: K♦K♥
Cabitza's frustration soon turned into elation as he said he folded K♠K♣ as the cards were going on their backs.
If Cabitza was being truthful, Butnoras was drawing extremely thin, but he did pick up outs to Broadway after the A♥Q♥J♠ flop. Any chances of a bad beat were quashed as Paleologos filled up on the J♣ turn. The 4♠ river completed the board.
With the pot, Paleologos has soared to the top end of the chip counts.
