Mavritsakis Hits the Rail; Majed Busts Gulas
Panagiotis Mavritsakis made it 125,000 from middle position with Jakub Sterba calling from the cutoff, Dimitrios Michailidis calling on the button, and Andrei Spataru defending his big blind.
When it got to Mavritsakis on the A♣10♥5♣ flop, he bet 185,000 and was met by a raise to 450,000 from Streba. Michailidis and Spataru got out of the way before Mavritsakis jammed for 700,000. Streba made the call.
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: A♠K♠ 
Jakub Sterba: K♣Q♣
Mavritsakis had top pair, top kicker against the straight and flush draws of Sterba. The 8♥ turn was safe for Mavritsakis, but the 9♣ completed Sterba's flush.
Mavritsakis headed to the cashier's desk, and Sterba's stack moved up to two million. At a nearby table, Rene Majed was seen pulling in another huge pot after he eliminated Josef Gulas.
