Christoforou Scores a Knockout; Laba Not So Lucky

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

More than 300,000 was in the middle as Andreas Christoforou and Timur Kurbanov went heads-up on a board of 8?A?J?K?5?.

Kurbanov, under the gun, then slid forward a bet of 100,000.

"One hundred thousand chips. Ace-jack? Ace-king," Christoforou muttered to himself as he tanked for several minutes.

"Sorry guys," he said to his tablemates. "It's a cooler either way," he added before putting in a call. Kurbanov then turned over A?8? for two pair, and Christoforou also showed A?8? to split the pot.

Christoforou had the chop that pot, but a few hands later Andrzej Marczykowski moved all in for 210,000 in the hijack and Christoforou called in middle position.

Andrzej Marczykowski: Q?10?
Andreas Christoforou: A?A?

Christoforou had picked up aces and Marczykowski found no help on the 8?5?5?4?K? board to hit the rail.

At the same time at another table, Vladas Tamasauskas was all in for 320,000 from the hijack and up against Vasyl Laba in the cutoff.

Vladas Tamasauskas: J?J?
Vasyl Laba: 6?6?

Tamasauskas was ahead with his jacks and stayed in front on the K?2?A?4?5? board to secure the double up.
