Stamatis Gets There on the River; Kritharis Celebrates too Early Against Giudice

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Alkiviadis Stamatis

Around 500,000 was already in the pot as Andras Halasi and Alkiviadis Stamatis went to a flop of 56J. Stamatis then bet 125,000 from the button and Halasi called in middle position.

Both players checked the J turn before Halasi then led out for 275,000 on the 7 river. Stamatis announced a raise of 800,000, and Halasi called even before Stamatis had time to put the chips in.

Stamatis turned over A4 for a rivered flush and Halasi mucked, later admitting he had a jack.

At another table, Nikolaos Kritharis had opened to 120,000 in early position, Giovanni Giudice shoved for 630,000 in the hijack, and Kritharis called.

Giovanni Giudice: JJ All in
Nikolaos Kritharis: AQ

Kritharis hit a queen on the 9Q7 flop to take the lead as he began pumping his fist in the air. The turn was the 8, but Giudice spiked the J on the river as he then raised his arm in the air in celebration.

"You celebrated too early," a tablemate told Kritharis, who laughed off the beat and sent the chips over to Giudice.
