Tsai Over 200,000 After Scoring Knockout
Julien Martini opened the action with a raise to 3,600 from early position. Ole Olsen called from middle position and action went around to Georgios Karakousis, who called from the small blind. Ting Yi Tsai then defended his big blind and action went four ways to the flop .
Karakousis and Tsai checked to Martini, who made a continuation-bet of 6,000. Olsen called to put action onto Karakousis, who check-raised all in. Tsai asked for a count and it was totaled to be 30,100, and he then announced a raise of the minimum on top of Karakousis' all-in check-raise. Martini and Olsen let their hands go.
Georgios Karakousis:
Ting Yi Tsai:
Tsai had top-and-bottom pairs and needed to hold against Karkousis' flush draw in order to win all the chips. The runout did indeed come in his favor, with the turn and river leaving Karakousis empty on his draw to result in his elimination from the tournament.
