Koutoupas and Law go to War
![[user265690]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The two chip leaders just clashed in a big pot that went all the way to showdown...
Harry Law opened to 125,000 from the cut-off with 
and Sotirios Koutoupas called from the big blind with 
. On the 
flop Koutoupas checked, Law continuation bet 140,000 and Koutoupas smooth called. The 
turn was certainly an action card as it gave Law top pair and Koutoupas two-pair. Yet again it was checked to Law, he bet 255,000 and again Koutoupas smooth called.
If the turn card was an action card then the 
river was the ultimate action card given that it gave Law an inferior two-pair, Koutoupaas played it cute again, checking to Law who fired 385,000, there was never thought of raising from Koutoupas and he flicked one T5k chip over the line to signal a call, Law was the first to show, Koutoupas then showed the winner and has opened up a gap again.
Koutoupas is up to 8,340,000 whilst Law is down to 6,480,000, they're both well clear of the other three players, in fact Eli Heath, Oliver Price and Eugene Katchalov combined have less than Law.
