Four players are on the turn on a board reading Diamond JSpade 10Heart 2Diamond 9, with around 6,000 in the middle.

A players leads out with a bet of 1,800, and Papadopoulos calls along with another player, before Constantin Croitoru raises to 8,800 from the button. Only Papadopoulos calls.

The Heart J river completes and pairs the board, and after some deliberation, Papadopoulos moves all in with the covering stack. Croitoru makes the snap-call for his remaining 16,500 stack.

Papadopoulos tables Spade ADiamond Q for ace-high, while Croitoru has Heart KHeart Q for the king-high straight, sending him the double-up.

Alexandros Papadopoulos – 26,000 (43 bb)
Constantin Croitoru – 66,000 (110 bb)
