Dato Takes From Amri; Stewart Collects the Rest
While EPT Cyprus Main Event winner Gilles Simon was eliminated earlier, the runner-up from that tournament, Andrea Dato, is still in contention. He opened to 6,000 from under the gun and saw Naim Amri defend his big blind.
Amri check-called for 3,500 on the A?2?2? flop before the 7? turn checked through to the 4? river. Amri led out for 5,000 and then Dato made it 16,000. Amri thought briefly and called, leaving himself 11,500. Dato tabled A?Q? and Amri mucked his hand.
On the next deal, Joshua Stewart limped in from the cutoff and called when Amri moved all in.
Naim Amri: 9?8?
Joshua Stewart: A?6?
Stewart paired up on the A?K?2? flop to become an even bigger favorite. The 9? turn gave Amri some hope but the 5? river confirmed his exit instead.
