Alontsau’s Bold Shove Forces Gkatzas to Fold Before the Break
Nivel 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
In the final hand before the break, Siarhei Alontsau opened the action from early position with a raise to 100,000. Dimitrios Gkatzas responded with a three-bet to 225,000 from the cutoff, and Alontsau made the call.
The flop came K♣A♠2♠, and Alontsau immediately shoved all in, putting Gkatzas to the test for his tournament life. With Alontsau holding a significantly larger stack, the decision was far from easy. Gkatzas burned through two time bank cards, agonizing over the high-pressure spot. Ultimately, he decided to fold, preserving his tournament run but surrendering the pot to Alontsau.
