Level 1: 100/100
Entries: 42/42

There were roughly 2,500 in the middle when the board read 8♦2♦7♥. Lampros Vlachos, Samuel Tebege, and Massimiliano Mauceri were the three players involved in the action, and they all decided to check.

On the 5♣ turn, Vlachos bet 2,600. Tebege folded prior to Mauceri making the call. Vlachos didn’t slow down on the K♣ river and bet 3,700. Mauceri waited little-to-no time before making the call.

Vlachos turned over K♠Q♣ for top pair. Mauceri’s cards hit the muck as the dealer pushed the pot the way of Vlachos.

Lampros Vachos: 51,000
Massimiliano Mauceri: 30,000
