With plenty of preflop raises and re-raises, the pot had swelled to 21,500 by the time the flop revealed A♠Q♦10♣.

Bakhos Joumaa was first to act, leading out with a bet of 6,000. Christopher Rossos responded by raising to 14,000. After a moment of contemplation, Joumaa decided to go all in, easily covering Rossos’s stack. Without hesitation, Rossos snap-called, setting the stage for a showdown.

Rossos revealed K♥K♦, while Joumaa showed A♥J♦, having paired his ace on the flop. This left Rossos needing a lot of help. The 9♥ on the turn didn’t change much, and the 2♥ on the river sealed Rossos's fate, sending him to the rail and giving Joumaa a good boost to his stack.

Chrysi Phiniotis started the action with a raise to 1,100 from early position, and Artem Kotkovskyi on the button was quick to call, along with both players in the blinds.

The flop came down 7♠2♠9♠, both blinds checked and Phiniotis seized the opportunity and led out with a bet of 1,300, which only Kotkovskyi decided to call.

When the 5♥ hit the turn, Phiniotis continued their aggression with another bet, but this time Kotkovskyi responded by raising it to 10,000. Phiniotis took a moment to weigh their options before ultimately calling, clearly intrigued by the action.

The river brought the 10♣, prompting Phiniotis to check. Kotkovskyi wasted no time, firing another 10,000 into the pot. Phiniotis went into deep thought, checking their cards several times, but after a long deliberation, they opted to fold, leaving Kotkovskyi to scoop up the pot and add to his growing stack.
