Kiriopoulos Takes Lead after Getting Paid Off with a Set
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
A giant pot between Demosthenes Kiriopoulos and Robert Hankins determined who would be pacing the remaining field.
With the board reading 
, Kiriopoulos bet what looked to be 42,000 in position and Hankins called.
The river was the 
and Hankins checked to Kiriopoulos again. Kiripoulos, who will add only his second WSOP cash after collecting his prize from this tournament, put in one of the biggest river bets the tournament has seen so far. He made it 130,000 and while it was a huge sum, Hankins wasted no time calling. Hankins was shown 
for a flopped set, and he couldn't beat that.
The question was answered, Kiriopoulos now covers anyone in the tournament with nearly 700,000 lying at his seat.
