Theologis Suffers Bad River
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexandros Theologis opened to 2,200 from the cutoff and faced a three-bet to 7,000 by Pavel Plesuv on the button. Actioin folded back around to Theologis, who made the call.
The flop came 
and Theologis checked. Plesuv continued for 8,000, not enough to shed Theologis, who flatted.
Theologis checked for a second time on the 
turn and Plesuv, having no issues with inflating the pot, sized up to a chunkier 17,000. Again, Theologis just called.
Both players checked on the 
river and Theologis turned over 
for second pair. It was no good, however, as Plesuv held 
for the rivered top pair. As he watched his opponent rake in the large pot, Theologis gave a slight shake of his head while gazing up at the ceiling.
