Jamila Jams Jacks
Jamila von Perger, one of the Vienna fan favorites, has just been knocked out in a huge pot against Greek pro Iliodoros Kamatakis. Von Perger was far from happy with the way the hand played out, and in her eyes, the slowroll Kamatakis put her through.
The action started with a raise to 2,500 from Kamatakis under the gun and the action folded around to Von Perger, who called from the button. The player in the small blind three-bet to 7,500 and both Kamatakis and Von Perger called.
The flop brought out 
in this three-way pot and the small blind opted to check. Kamatakis, who has two EPT cashes under his belt, bet 9,000 and Von Perger threw in the chips needed to see a turn card. The small blind folded and the action went heads up to the turn.
On the turn a third spade popped up with the 
and Kamatakis bet another 18,200. Von Perger went into the tank for a bit before moving all in for a total of 93,900. This big shove was clearly not something Kamatakis had anticipated, as he went into the tank for several minutes. Ultimately he made the call and Von Perger exploded.
"Are you serious?" Von Perger squealed, as Kamatakis turned over 
for a set of eights.
One of the leading ladies of poker in Germany showed 
for a pair of jacks and she was drawing very slim.
"How can you slowroll me so hard?" Von Perger cried, as Kamatakis silently awaited the river card.
The river brought the 
and Von Perger was knocked out. Steaming Von Perger left the room as Kamatakis stacked a large pile of chips.
"She should never have queens or jacks there, always a set or a flush," Kamatakis defended his play after Von Perger had left.
Right or wrong, Kamatakis now has a mountain of chips while Von Perger will have to take solace in the fact that there will be more chances in the array of side events hosted here at EPT Vienna.
