Georgopoulos Doubles Up Twice to Recover Stack
Leonidas Georgopoulos moved all in from under the gun for 11,700, around ten big blinds. He was called by Andres Korn and the two players flipped their cards, with Georgopoulos at risk.
Leonidas Georgopoulos: A♥8♦
Andres Korn: K♥Q♥
The board ran out 7♣10♥J♠2♣J♦. Neither player improved and so Georgopoulos held with ace high to double up.
The next hand, Antonio Poncio raised from early position and Georgopoulos moved all in again, this time for around 24,000. Poncio made the call and Georgopoulos found himself once again at risk against the bigger stack.
