Livello 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Kevin Choi and Nikolaos Angelou wound up in a big preflop conformation getting both stacks in the middle as Choi ran his pocket jacks into the ace-king of Angelou. An ace on the turn left Choi so short that he was forced all in by the big blind the very next hand.

Nikolaos Angelou opened from the button to 200,000 and Daniel Barriocanal in the small blind called putting Choi at risk.

Both players checked the hand through to the river as the full board read Q♥5♠8♣7♠10♠. Angelou tabled A♠8♥ beating both Barriocanal and Choi. Choi was sent to the rail in 8th place.
