Denisov Dents Chip Leader
After an early position opener made it 2,000, Georgios Tsouloftas had called from middle position next to act. Once action folded to the button, Aleksandr Denisov, he made it 3,100. The small blind then flat called and so did the original raiser and Tsouloftas called, also.
Four ways to a flop of 
and Denisov made it 2,000 when the other three players checked in flow. Just the Cypriot chip leader called.
A 
drew a 4,000 chip bet from Denisov this time, once Tsouloftas had checked once again and once again the call was made.
Once a 
completed the board, Tsouloftas decided to lead out for 15,000 into Denisov. In response, the Russian player with almost $3,000,000 in live earnings made it 35,000.
It didn't take too much time for Tsouloftas to muck his holding, awarding the Russian's way.
