Kanaan Runs Into Aces

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Ali Kanaan
Ali Kanaan

A raise was called by Christos Xanthopoulos and Ali Kanaan then three-bet to 8,200 on the button, which just Xanthopoulos called in middle position. On a flop of {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}, Xanthopoulos checked and Kanaan continued for 5,800. A near instant all in by the Greek followed and Kanaan immediately asked for a count.

The shove was for 49,200, which had Kanaan covered by around 9,000. He gave it some thought and made the call.

Ali Kanaan: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Christos Xanthopoulos: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs} turn and {9-Hearts} river failed to improve Kanaan and he joined the rail in the penultimate level of Day 1b. Xanthopoulos already has a final table appearance in the 888poker LIVE Main Events to his name as he finished in 8th place in the Asper's Casino in 2018.
