Chrysi Phiniotis started the action with a raise to 1,100 from early position, and Artem Kotkovskyi on the button was quick to call, along with both players in the blinds.
The flop came down 7♠2♠9♠, both blinds checked and Phiniotis seized the opportunity and led out with a bet of 1,300, which only Kotkovskyi decided to call.
When the 5♥ hit the turn, Phiniotis continued their aggression with another bet, but this time Kotkovskyi responded by raising it to 10,000. Phiniotis took a moment to weigh their options before ultimately calling, clearly intrigued by the action.
The river brought the 10♣, prompting Phiniotis to check. Kotkovskyi wasted no time, firing another 10,000 into the pot. Phiniotis went into deep thought, checking their cards several times, but after a long deliberation, they opted to fold, leaving Kotkovskyi to scoop up the pot and add to his growing stack.

One of the most entertaining shows in poker is stepping it up a notch as PokerStars announced that the next season of Big Game on Tour will feature four-time Super Bowl champion and NFL star Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski.
Gronkowski, who spent 11 seasons as a tight end in the NFL and is now a sports analyst, will compete on the upcoming The Big Game on Tour season alongside the pros, Loose Cannons and sports media personality Nick Wright, whose appearance was also confirmed on Thursday.
“I’m always up for a challenge, and diving into the world of poker is going to be an amazing new adventure for me," Gronkowski said in a press release. “I’m beyond excited to play alongside some of the best in the game and tackle the high-stakes action. Just like on the football field, I’ll be bringing my competitive edge and giving it everything I’ve got at the tables.”
With approximately 16,000 already in the pot and the board displaying 6♥5♠A♥J♦3♣, Sergei Bortsov, acting first, checked. Nichita Verbitchii, sensing an opportunity, fired a bet of 8,000. Bortsov appeared to be deep in thought, visibly weighing his options and clearly not thrilled about the situation at hand. After a moment of contemplation, he ultimately decided to make the call, and the action moved to showdown.
Verbitchii revealed his hand, showing K♥Q♥ for a missed flush draw, while Bortsov confidently turned over K♣K♦. His pocket kings held strong, allowing him to scoop up the pot and add a nice boost to his chip stack.

Ushakov seized the initiative on the 3♣ turn, betting 2,000. Again, both Alt and Pamukcu called.
When the 5♠ hit the river, Ushakov fired another bet of 4,000, which only Alt called. At showdown, Ushakov revealed A♣10♣ for a flopped full house, easily besting Alt's hand, which quickly found its way to the muck.

When the J♠ hit the turn, Boatman took the lead with a bet of 5,000, which Paterson promptly called.
Both players checked the 6♣ river, and Boatman revealed 2♠2♣ for two pair, fives and deuces. He already sensed he might not be winning this one, and he was right. Paterson turned over Q♣Q♦ for two pair, queens and fives, taking down the pot.
