Event Info
The flop was checked, as was the turn, but on the river, Konstantinos went to check, but dipped into his stack at the last second and led for 120,000.
Nygard made what appeared to be a reluctant call, but he was right to be hesitant as Konstantinos revealed which was good enough to pick up the pot.
Another bizarre hand, but one that worked in favour of the Greek amateur.
Di Cicco takes the next hand though, he pushes and gets no callers.
Alexiou Konstantinos (Greece) -- 1,407,000
Francesco Cirianni (Italy) -- 791,000
Fredrik Nygard (Finland) -- 972,000
Massimo Di Cicco (Italy) -- 347,000
[Removed:197] (Germany) -- 291,000
Raul Mestre (Spain) -- out in 8th place
Andrew Alan Chen (Canada) -- 500,000
Bonavena =
Chen =
He may have been teetering on the edge of defeat, but Chen turned water into wine on the gasp-inducing flop...
A double nine in a line was enough as the turn came followed by an academic on the river.
Chen doubles through to 470,000 and heads off to the nearest newsagent to purchase a lottery ticket.
Konstantinos =
Chen =
A seven from heaven and Chen lives to fight another day.
The flop comes and Bonavena quickly announces all in for around 1,200,000, Konstantinos folds and Bonavena celebrates with a fist pump.
