Stalemate broken by Srini exit

Our last remaining overseas player hit the rail and with his departure, a lengthy stalemate came to an end.

Srini Thavarajah tried to outmanoeuvre Jose Luiz Lopez on a 6♣8♥3♣ flop with J♠Q♥ but the Spaniard snap-called with 10♦10♠.

The dealer flipped the K♣ on the turn and the river 7♦ was also no help to Srini, sending him home to Germany with a €6,300 payout.

Previously the action had dried up for an hour, with the closest thing to action coming when Thavarajah and Lopez had clashed in a solitary big hand.

Lopez bet 107,000 into a huge pot on the river, with 2♣6♣K♣-K♦-A♦ showing, and triumphantly showed 6♠7♠ when his rival folded.
