Theodoros Ampelikiotis raised to 25,000 under the gun and was called by Blaz Zerjav in the hijack. Ampelikiotis checked to Zerjav on the 3♣6♥4♥ flop, seeing the Slovenian bet 20,000.
Ampelikiotis then raised to 75,000, which Zerjav called. Ampelikiotis sized up to 100,000 on the 9♦ turn, being called by Zerjav again.
Ampelikiotis slowed down on the A♣ river, checking to Zerjav. Zerjav moved in for 251,000, sending Ameplikiotis into the tank. After a few minutes, Ampelikiotis put in the call with the covering stack.
Zerjav tabled 5♦5♣ for a pair of fives, but Ampelikiotis had called with J♥9♥ for a pair of nines. Zerjav was the first elimination of the final table as Ampelikiotis was shipped the big pot and secured the chip lead.
Theodoros Ampelikiotis – 1,146,000
Blaz Zerjav – 0
