Gal Gets a Fold from Firsau

Miltiadis Kyriakides raised from under the gun on the feature table and Zoltan Gal as well as Vasili Firsau called in the blinds. The flop came and Firsau check-raised after Kyriakides had continued for 65,000 and was called by Gal. The Belorussian made it 181,000 to go and Kyriakides folded, Gal called.

The two of them checked the turn and Gal then bet the river for 200,000. Firsau folded and claimed to have had deuces, which Gal found hard to believe. "But you had queen-jack," Firsau said to his table neighbor and current chip leader.
