Tsouloftas Desperately Wants Jaros' Bounty; Salerno Gets Revenge on Spoddig
Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 50,000 in the cutoff before Patrik Jaros moved all in for 400,000 on the button. Tsouloftas sat back in his seat and stretched his arms up in the air before calling.
Patrik Jaros: A♦K♥ 
Georgios Tsouloftas: 5♠4♥
Tsouloftas had called with just five-high but took the lead on the 8♣5♥2♦ flop. The turn 9♦ was no help to Jaros, while the 4♦ river improved Tsouloftas to two pair and sent Jaros to the rail.
At another table, Carlos Spoddig and Elia Salerno tangled in a big pot between the blinds as Salerno wound up all in for his last 950,000.
Elia Salerno: J♥J♦
Carlos Spoddig: A♠9♥
The K♥J♠10♦ flop gave Salerno a set, while Spoddig picked up a straight draw. The 8♥ fell on the turn, while the 10♥ river improved Salerno to a full house and earned him a double up.
Salerno told the table after the hand that Spoddig had busted him from a previous tournament this series. "This is karma," he said.
