Pillay Busts Giannakopoulos on the River
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Three ways to the J♣9♦2♦K♥ turn, Alvin Pillay bet 6,000 and Panayiotis Giannakopoulos moved all-in for 16,500.
While focusing on his phone, Pillay shook his head and Jean Souprayenmestry was still in the tank. The Frenchman then folded and Pillay called after a few seconds of consideration.
Panayiotis Giannakopoulos: K♦7♦ 
Alvin Pillay: Q♥J♥
Giannakopoulos was ahead with top pair and the flush draw, while Pillay had second pair and a gutshot. One of the outs came with the 10♥ river to bust the Greek based in Tanzania.
