Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Sotirios Koutoupas just hit a four outer to eliminate Gheorghe Gradinaru from this tournament in 29th place. It was the Greek player who got the action started, raising to 25,000, Grandinaru then moved all-in for 283,000 and Koutoupas called to put him at risk.

The flop gave Grandinaru three of a kind but as Eugene Katchalov said: "Better than a blank flop," as Koutoupas had a backdoor straight and flush draw. The was a blank but the wasn't and the year of Romania will have to wait.
