John Joannou just won a pot worth 3,225 chips after picking off a bluff on the end. The pot grew to 2,625 by time Perry Friedman, Joannou and one other player reached seventh street. Here's how the hands looked.

Friedman: (X-X) {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

(X)
Opponent: (X-X) {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{A-Spades}

(X)
Joannou; (X-X) {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

(X)

After seventh, the unknown player fired a bet. Joannou called and then Freidman folded. Joannou revealed {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

{J-?}

for just pair of kings and his opponent mucked. Friedman saw this and claimed to muck two pair which would have been the winner.

Joannou is up to 24,435 and leading the way. Friedman has just over 17,000.
