Kiriopoulos Shuts Down at the Right Time

Adam Lamers

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Dimitar Danchev opened to 1,100 in early position and was called by the hijack. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos reraised to 4,000 in the cutoff and only Danchev called.

The flop fell 5?4?3? and Danchev check-called a bet of 2,500 from Kiriopoulos. The turn was the 9? and Danchev checked again. Kiriopoulos tossed in a bet of 5,400 and Danchev stuck around for the 10? on the river.

Danchev checked for the third time and Kiriopoulos gave it some thought but opted to check it back. Danchev flipped over 10?10? for a set of tens and Kiriopoulos mucked his cards with a smirk on his face.
