Ioannis Tsakiris during the 2025 Battle of Malta.

The board read J♦4♣8♥Q♥ with roughly 110,000 in the middle. After an initial check from Alessandro Amenta, Christopher Rogers bet 30,000. Ioannis Tsakiris called, and so did Amenta.

On the river 3♠, action was checked to Tsakiris, who bet 50,000. Amenta folded, and Rogers released a heavy sigh as he made the call.

Ioannis Tsakiris: A♠Q♦
Christopher Rogers: Q♠T♠

The superior kicker saw Tsakiris taking home the pot.

Christopher Rogers: 1,400,000
Ioannis Tsakiris: 750,000
