Papapetrou Saves Himself
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
"Camera, camera" said a player on table 1 to report an all in and a call. Yiannakis Papapetrou under the gun had the shortest stack with 160,000 chips. He faced one of the chipleaders, Temirlan Zhakenov, who was in the big blind.
Yiannakis Papapetrou: K♦J♦
Temirlan Zhakenov: A♥K♥
Papapetrou was lucky enough to find two pairs on the flop on K♠6♠J♣4♥5♦. "Congratulations, you are all in the money", said the tournament director, who missunderstood the bord. "By bad, it's a double up", he apologized, with the whole room laughing.
