Xanthopoulos Wins One; Loses Next
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened 200,000 in the small blind, and Henri Kasper defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♣K♥3♦, and Xanthopoulos continued for 125,000, Kasper called.
The 2♠ fell on the turn, and Xanthopoulos fired another shell of 225,000. Kasper went into the tank for some time before pitching his cards into the muck.
The following hand, Xanthopoulos opened 160,000 on the button, and Gab Yong Kim asked if Xanthopoulos had about 4,000,000 behind, and Xanthopoulos replied yes. Then Kim put in a three-bet to 575,000 which was enough to earn the pot.
