Krakow Picked Off By Aristotelos, Still Sporting Big Stack

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With around 10,000 already in the pot on a board of {3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades}, Matan Krakow bet 8,000 from middle position and Katherina Aristotelos called next to act.

The river came the {6-Clubs} and Krakow fired out 18,000. Aristotelos cut out the chips to call from her stack and tanked for around a minute before she pushed it into the middle.

Krakow showed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a missed straight draw, while Aristotelos turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for a pair of queens to take the pot.

Despite losing that pot, Krakow has already doubled his starting stack here early on Day 1c.
