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

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

Mengshi Tian: QJ All in
Dorian Melchers: KK

Tian had run into Melchers' kings and found no help on the 542 flop, but the 6 turn gave him a flush draw going to the river. He couldn't connect with the 9 river and Melchers took the pot to send Tian to the rail.

Tsvetanov Stays Alive by Winning a Flip

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Presiyan Tsvetanov
Presiyan Tsvetanov

From middle position, Presiyan Tsvetanov stuck his stack of 240,000 across the betting line, and was called by Mariusz Gomoła, who was seated on the button.

Presiyan Tsvetanov: AK All in
Mariusz Gomoła: 910

Tsvetanov required his big slick to connect with the board to beat the two nines of Gomola.

Gomola's pair stayed ahead on the 822 flop, but the A turn catapulted Tsvetanov into the lead with a pair of aces. The 4 river changed nothing, and Tsvetanov doubled through Gomola.
