Sokratis Oikonomou during the 2025 Battle of Malta.

From the Lo-jack, Krzysztof Chmielowski opened to 16,000. Sokratis Oikonomou (Hi-jack), Antoine Talvard (Small Blind), and Sebastian Mortensen (Big Blind) all called.

The four players checked on the 4♣2♦5♦ flop. The Q♥ fell on the turn, and when action came to Chmielowski, he bet 38,000. Oikonomou was the only one to make the call.

On the river 3♥, Chmielowski bet 16,000, and Oikonomou chips for a call reached the middle before Chmielowski’s did.

Krzysztof Chmielowski: 5♥5♣
Sokratis Oikonomou: A♠Q♦

The two of them exchanged some friendly banter as Oikonomou was awarded the pot thanks to his straight.

Krzysztof Chmielowski: 850,000
Sokratis Oikonomou: 470,000
