Xanthopoulos' Big Slick Holds Up
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tarmo Tammel raised to 2,200 from the hijack and was three-bet to 10,000 by Pavlos Xanthopoulos in the cutoff. Sidi Tourad committed his last 10,400 into the middle, but Tammel folded and the cards were revealed.
Sidi Tourad : A♠Q♥ 
Pavlos Xanthopoulos : A♦K♥
Tourad needed to find a queen if he was stay alive in the tournament. However, the K♣A♥6♣ flop meant that only running cards would keep Tourad in his seat. That didn't happen though as the rest of the board came 3♥2♥ and Xanthopoulos's top two pair would eliminate Tourad.
